And the same goes for the asterisks. I did not realize that we need all the examples in the package; and then maybe it is still easier to copy-and-paste from the book. I'll put in a remark about this until it can be fixed.

Hi George,
yes, it is the latex 'listings' package that is to blame here. Its upside is the line numbering and syntax coloring; the downside is that '--' is treated typographically because not enough programming languages have it. I will fix that for the next release candidate.
best regards,
René.
In case this message slipped through the cracks, the /* ... */ with the garbled asterisks has a simple explanation. The 'putative asterisk' in question is actually Unicode codepoint U+2217
which is defined as 'ASTERISK OPERATOR'. That is, it is being
represented as a mathematical symbol rather than ans ASCII asterisk (U+002a). This works fine in Acrobat because it has access to the glyph for this codepoint because the PDF embeds the appropriate font, but most editors would not have the font.
I
assume this is a Latex artefact: perhaps the conversion to PDF is in error, or the wrong version of '*' was actually typed into the document. Other such errors may have a similar explanation.
