C_COMMENT
Reformat C++ comments to C style

C_COMMENT is a FORTRAN90 program which reads an ASCII text file, and writes a copy, in which C++ style comments have been replaced by equivalent C-style comments.

Usage:

c_comment input_file output_file

• input_file is the file to read;
• output_file is the file to create;
