Re: Full Free RPG and modification marks

[Paul Therrien <paultherrien@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With full free ('**FREE' line 1, column 1) the entire source line is
read by the compiler.  So columns 1-5, 6, & 7 are all part of the
program.  

What I do is precede any changes I make to a line with a comment line
with my mod marker at the end of the comment line. 

Also, I use '// mod marker' at the end of each changed line (where it
makes sense and doesn't make the code harder to read).
