Mike,

All comments in Fortran are line comments only. There is no equivalent of /* ... */ as in C, etc. You need to place ! or C at the beginning of each line to make it a comment.

In visual studio, you can select multiple lines and then use Ctrl-K, ctrl-C to make all lines comments.

Regards,

David

A "quick'n'dirty" method to comment out a huge block of code is to use preprocessor:

!DEC$IF (.FALSE.)

...

!DEC$ENDIF

or, if you're using /fpp switch:

#if 0

...

#endif

However, that is suitable only e.g. if you're doing code bisection (bug tracing by removing huge chunks of code at the moment). I would never leave such "comment" permanently in the code (code coloring does not work in such cases, for the start).
