For you, here's an Emacs defun to do the same thing:

(defun cpp-to-c
 "Replace the next C++ comment with a C comment"
  (interactive)
  (re-search-forward "//")
  (replace-match "/*")
  (end-of-line)
  (insert " */"))


Have fun :). It would be easy to modify it to change every C++ comment
in the buffer to a C comment, and I'll do that if you want. You can
stick this into your .emacs file and bind a key to it.

As for .emacs files, mine is at http://vitelus.com/aaronl/pub/conf/emacs.
It's a whimpy 23k. :(
