Well, it worked fine...until, trying to reproduce your problem, I did
something that was *wrong*.
Please go out and get a C programming book (I prefer K&R, the "bible", but
that's me).
In any programming language, *everything* that you write is translated by the
compiler into machine language instructions, *except* for comments.
Comments are *required* to be indicated in the syntactically-defined manner
to the compiler, otherwise, it don't know it's a comment.
So, please either delete the lines with '*', or else define them to the
complier *as* comments, by:
/* ***blah, blah ***** */
^beginning and ^^ end of C-style comment (note that it can continue
for multiple lines, until it sees the closing */
or
// ***** blah, blah *********
^^ C++ style comment, goes to end of line.
