 Hi James/Jamie (which do you prefer?),
 
 Bill Fumerola replied telling you that style(9) requires a slightly
 different format for your comments. While it's true, the example he gave
 you doesn't appear in style(9).
 
 I'd do this:
 
 		case 'i':		/* Unix 98 compatibility option */
 			/* FALLTHROUGH */
 
 Personally, I wouldn't provide the comment at all. Focus on the manpage
 instead. :-P
 
 Oh, and note the spelling of compatibility. :-)
 
 later,
 Sheldon.
