In response to Peter's request, the attached modified submacro wordchk.vdm will allow comments in
Scribe's VDF files. You may use any non-letter character(s) to specify a comment. Use the
Vedit // or the ; or brackets or quotes or even a space.

Important: Comments MUST be on a line by themselves

Wordchk.vdm (along with getword.vdm) is executed for every word in the buffer or block, so to
minimize adding lots of extra code, Scribe when checking the VDF files will now ignore words
that do not start at beginning of the line.

Here is an excerpt of the english.vdf file with comments:

abilene
abilities
// these words are ignored because character
// in column 1 is a non-letter
ability
abiotic
; same here with a ;
abject
abjection
and again, even a space will work
abjectly
abjectness
abjuration
abjurations
abjuratory

Repeat: Comments MUST be on a line by themselves

The attached zip file just contains the modified wordchk.vdm (ver 4.1) and an updated
resources.txt file.

If you do not want/need to comment VDF files, there is no benefit to this update.

Oops, the following line in my previous email was meant to start with a space.

and again, even a space will

Thank you very much.
At the same time, in your resources.txt file I have changed the version number fro 4.0 to 4.1.
