  27.  
  28. >  Lately, I noticed that single-quotes in comments like:
  29. %* PROC SORT That's already done previously. ;
  30. cause problems too.
  31.  
  32. Single quotes mess up macro comments because the text inside is
  33. scanned.  Use
  34.   /* PROC SORT That's already done previously. */
  35. instead.  These are the safest kind of comments around.
