Commentate R1.2

_________________________________________________________

Commentate is an application for developers which speeds common code manipulation.  It offers the following types of comments:

C:

		printf("Hello World\n");
	
	is commented as:
	
	/*
		printf("Hello World\n");
	*/

DEBUG:

		printf("Hello World\n");
	
	is commented as:
	
	#ifdef DEBUG
		printf("Hello World\n");
	#endif

Objective C:

		[object doSomething];
	
	is commented as:
	
	//	[object doSomething];

PostScript:

		100 100 moveto 200 200 lineto stroke
	
	is commented as:
	
	%	100 100 moveto 200 200 lineto stroke

Shell,AWK:

		echo "Hello World"
	
	is commented as:
	
	#	echo "Hello World"

Sybase (Version 10):

		insert into test values ("Hello World")
	
	is commented as:
	
	--	insert into test values ("Hello World")


Uncomment:

	The uncomment menu item uncomments one level of commenting.  If you have ObjC comments inside C comments, it would take two uncomments to remove all the comment marks (one for the C comments, then another for the ObjC comments)

_________________________________________________________

Known Bugs:

Commenting code with C style comments multiple times will result in code like the following:

	/*
	/*
		printf("Hello World\n");
	*/
	*/

which is not valid C code.  To get around this, either fix Commentate (and send me the fix), or don't do it...

I wrote this a couple of years ago when I was learning C, so please ignore the complete lack of design...  It's reasonably fast and free though, so I keep using it.  I hope you find it useful as well.  If you have any comments or suggestions, you can reach me at the address below.
