I have been advised that ≠ (not equal) does not compile in Linux.
It does seem to work in OSX.
If ≠ is not a keyword then why does it work in OSX?
Hi Terence,
Ali and I had a brief look into this, and we can confirm that:
* it works on OS X
* it doesn't work on Linux
* there's no immediately obvious reason for this
The reason is historical - prior to version 7 it wasn't possible to make
it work.
The 'not equal' char and other maths related symbols are *only* present
in MacRoman, not Windows-1252 or 8859-1 (the encodings used pre-7 on
Windows and Linux) and since the engine only previously worked with the
native encoding of the platform it was only ever supported on Mac.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
