Well... many of the .s only files in /sys/boot/i386 don't work at all with cpp(1) because they use '#' for the comment character. So, if we change files that don't even use cpp(1) to .S then we'll also have to go through and reformat all the comments in said files. However, if all .S is deemed to be the best way to go, I'll fix all the comments (shouldn't be anything sed can't fix :) ). > John -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
