Hi, netters (especially Unix ones :-)!

Would you like a program which sounds equally well
in Bourne Shell, C Shell, C, C++ and even in FORTRAN?
Enjoy!

cat /*dev/null; echo "Happy New Year"\!
cat <<c*/ /*dev/null | cat > /dev/null
c */ () {} /*
c */ main() { cat(); printf("Happy New Year!\n"); } /*
17      format('  Happy New Year!')
	write (6,17)
	stop
	end
c*/

Greetings!
