              1992-08-02 (or thereabouts), but I still print my code occasionally. Nowadays I use Word and I have a header that indicates the filename and pages.

                      The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick - Silverlight *.XCP files. Visit the Hindi forum here.

                        At least it's accurate.

                          Sometimes, when a "{" or "}" is missing, this comment can help investigate backward.

                            Not only worthless comments, but also funny, seen in the assembly code of DG AOS/VS (can anyone remember it?) In the code executed when one shut down the system: < some code > HALT HALT ;JUST IN CASE The HALT instruction stopped the CPU completely In the panic code - executed when there was an error which the OS couldn't handle: < some code > ; I don't know how you got here, but you're in deep s**t Jerry

                              If DG == Data General, I'm not surprised. I used a DG 'Nova 4' system one time, a very long time ago. Regarding the doubled HALT instruction, that's also not too surprising. Depending upon the interrupt architecture and when they increment the program counter, I could see a glitch between decoding the HALT instruction and its execution causing the code to continue executing.

                                        Helpful if you intend to print it. Of course, I would expect a ////////BEGIN//////// or //////////Filename.cpp///////////////////// at the top. With the END tag, you will be able to tell if the entire document printed when the secretary delivers your hardcopy. :-D
