Hi,

I want to make the $History keyword expansion visible to my testers in
the About box of my C++ application - but how can I turn a multi-line
comment (the $History expansion) into the equivalent string?

I could easily write a program to do this (parse the file and
duplicate the comment as a string) - but it's not worth complicating
my build environment with another dependancy for this - so I'm looking
for different ideas.

How can I get the text of the following comment assigned to a string?
Alternately, can I get VSS to output $History as a C string literal?

/*
