Comments in PBN files

Comments are placed in PBN files in two ways.

1.Rest-of-Line approach: Place a semi-colon and your comment after the PBN tag. The comment goes for the rest of the line. This approach only allows one line of comments.

2.Brace Characters: You can place an unlimited number of lines of comments between brace characters.

Suit symbols in comments are held in PBN files with \C, \D, \H, \S - which DDS displays as ♣♦♥♠.  

DDS prefers you use an asterisk instead of a slash in front of the suit letter; e.g. !S for a ♠
