You used the "//" form of comments, which are terminated by an end-of- 
line, with an editor that showed/treated a bare CR as end-of-line, and  
a compiler that didn't.

I blame the editor.  EOL these days is either CRLF (windows, netascii)  
or just LF (unix.)  CR has never been an end-of-line except when  
received from a keyboard.
