While the first example is somewhat evil -- it's hard to notice the '\', 
but ending a comment with it is a rather pointless thing to do -- the 
real evil's in the second example. 

(Especially when you've completely forgotten about the mnemonic logical
operators. I thought to myself: "Hah, 'and!', that won't compile in a
million years! This ain't Pascal!" <sigh>)

I can't find much info about EDBIC from Google (odd, that). Does anyone
know whether it doesn't support the digraph'd characters? Were there other
character sets which didn't? I suppose there was no end to the array of 
odd machines and odd encodings back in the 70s and 80s.
