    Well, to be honest,

    There is a comment syntax for single lines that is valid in c++ that is not
    valid in c.
    And it would be both a simple "get report", and possibly legitimately
    useful, to find only those lines that would be invalid c syntax.

    But I won't divulge any more hint than I already have in case you are right,
    because it looks that way to me too.
    Besides, I've already seen his next post and someone apparently never
    figured out the kindergarden basic life lesson yet that you catch more flies
    with honey.
    Maybe he feels this makes me an jerk, but in the end, I know the answer, and
    he's dissuaded me from being generous with it. ;)

    I only wish Tony hadn't sabotaged our plot to keep him in the dark forever
    muhahahahaha.....
