Re: [foxboro] A Comment about comments

Sascha,
If I get a chance later today or tomorrow, I will try to repeat the process
with a smaller section of the same code.  When I get it done, I'll send you
the results as an attachment.  Or, if I can reduce the results to a small
enough size, I'll post them to the mail list without using an attachment.  

I believe that Mike Stewart and Brad Wilson may be on to something when they
mentioned comments embedded within comments.  As near as I recall, there was
nothing special about the new errors except where they were located.  The
new errors were created by the comments themselves.  I can't recall any
examples right now.  The problem was that the error listing was showing
errors inside of the commented blocks.  

By the way, I had forgotten about the --#ifdef notdef-- method.  Thanks for
reminding me.

Cheers,
Chuck

Could you send some example code, please?
