Anytime I'm forced to do anything on windows, I cringe at the common practices I'm going to have to suspend in order to get the job done.
Well, what module is it? If it's not a public module, what's the makefile look like? This part sucks, because we are looking at things that we are supposed to not have to think about. Hopefully someone pops in with a magical answer before we dive in. We are probably going to have to use single-quotes instead of double-quotes, or change a quote operators (q// qq//) funny character, or something like that. Just guessing. --jim
