	Hi, I am a new user to gcc.  I am trying to port code
from Borland C 3.1 to a sun sparc with GCC.  Unfortunately,  I
have many comment lines using // instead of /* */.  The //
comments seem to generate a parse error on compilation.

1)  Is there a compiler switch that gives // compatability in the
    source code?

2)  Has someone else had this problem before, and did they put to
    together a script that replaces // with /* */?  If so would 
    someone send me a copy.

    Thanks in advance.

    Pete
