EDEN previously implemented only the C-style multi-line /* */ comment syntax. Some other notations do not implement this syntax, and so getting the correct syntax to use for a comment can be frustrating when writing a script which uses multiple notations. Due to this problem, a one-line ‘##’ comment syntax was introduced into EDEN in version 1.19. ‘#’ is a valid comment in the other tkeden notations, and so ## this is a comment in all tkeden notations (phew) • What file extensions should I use for my scripts? Historically, UNIX does not use file extensions, preferring to look at the start of the file contents to determine the type (see the file(1) command for example). As a result, most existing models use a somewhat rough file extension scheme. The tools now exist on more than one platform, however, and Windows in particular still uses information from the filename to determine the file type. As of version 1.16, we would suggest the use of the file extensions .eden, .donald, .scout, .
