The C programming language

<I've been noticing the same thing when going source diving in the Linux <kernel and lots of other places. I think 5% would be a pretty generous <guess there (unless you count all the copyright crap and credits), most of <the time there isn't a single comment anywhere on the screen I'm looking at Minix a simpler teaching OS that is unix like is likely the most liberally commented code I've seen, maybe 5%, 10 if you wrap the book around it. <If you can lay your hands on unstripped sources to DEC PDP-11 OSes, <they're really nice examples of well-commented assembly language (no I'm <not kissing ass, I haven't seen the full RT sources so I wouldn't even know I have seen RT11 bare and commented. Bare is readable, the commented stuff is something more, much more. It covers the wacky why'd the do that stuff. <that interests me, and even then half the time I just have to fill it with <printfs and recompile to see what it actually does, since I can't figure <out what it's *supposed* to do. I do that with Coldfusion (web server middleware), Qbasic4.5 because the debugers (if they exist) arent able to tell me what I want the way I want it. Allison
