Hi Chris:

>can i make it support the first one in a C program?? I really need help. 

Check if you don't have a line like this:

.......... c code ....... // a comment \

  I tryied to put a back-slash at the end of the line (the e-mail system can 
remove it).
  If you finish a C++ comment-style line with a back slash this line is 
concatenated with the next line and then the next line is commented too, so you 
can get parse errors.
  Some time ago I reported this strange behavior to GNU but I don't got any 
answer to my report.
  Is that ANSI?

bye SET
