Sorry, Could you please point me again to the right place for comment formatting? I remember that single line is different from multi-line, and that multi-line comments should end with a point and two spaces before the closing '*/'

http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/ does not seem very explicit about this, unless I did not find the right place inside...

Concerning the comment below, should it be

1. /* For GPC, main procedure has a special name */
2. /* For GPC, main procedure has a special name. */

or something else?

I find in the section "commenting your work" in the above file:

Please put two spaces after the end of a sentence in your comments, so that the Emacs sentence commands will work. Also, please write complete sentences and capitalize the first word.

and somewhat later the the example:

There should be a comment on each static variable as well, like this:

/* Nonzero means truncate lines in the display; zero means continue them. */ int truncate_lines;

intermediate between 1) and 2)

We do not follow this Emacs dictated rule in Pascal coding standards !!
