I use it all the time and haven't yet found a C compiler that complains about very long lines, all of which is a comment. > Excerpts from internet.info-andrew: 25-May-90 ctext suggestion Anthony > Edwards@northsta (1498+0) > /* This is just a C comment.

Nothing fancy - it just has some general text (and perhaps one note in parenthesis, too) */ Ctext will obligingly put the whole thing in italics. I've gotten to almost love my ctext over the last year or more, since I made it use the Andy font set (variable pitch, serifs). Now if I could keep it from turning spaces into tabs early in the line when I hit the tab key. (Yes, I understand how TAB typed after four spaces wants to replace those four spaces with a tab character. I just don't want it to turn earlier spaces into tab characters too.) Craig
