Comment[s]

Purpose

The Comment[s] function allows generic comments to be added to the file that are ignored by the file reading application. Syntax
 
Opcode format Opcode Operand Format Comments
Extended ASCII (Comment <ws><TComment>) An internal comment only visible to someone looking at WHIP! data using some form of WHIP! data editor. Can occur multiple times within WHIP! data.
Extended ASCII (Comments <ws><TComments>) An external comment, e.g. description of WHIP! data, that is intended to be shown as part of viewing the WHIP! data. Occurs only once within WHIP! data.
Comment A string representing a comment that is normally ignored by the file reading application Details Some WHIP! data users can directly investigate WHIP! data using a simple text editor. The WHIP! data writing application can add comments for such users that are otherwise ignored by WHIP! data reading applications. The Comment[s] opcode provides this ability:
(Comment 'To Do: Please see Fred before making changes to this drawing.')
(Comments 'This WHIP! data reflects the floor plan as of the August 14th meeting.')
Notes WHIP! data reading applications typically show the Comments opcode. A WHIP! data reading application can provide an option to the user to view the comments contained in the Comment opcode.
