Someone else threw > that out. There may be a legitimate reason for this. I was referring to the GPL comment dodge. Still, stripping comments in a compiled language seems a bizarre idea to me, apart from deliberately making it more difficullt for others to follow, or to hide the origin of the code. The OP has stated in another post that the intention (if I understand the post correctly) is to neaten the code and to allow alignment of the program lines. Most companies would slap my wrists if I deliberately removed comments from a source file and as for alignment, try and do it as you go along, or at least try and not have huges source files so it's not too difficullt a proposition.
