Hi all,

I troubled this list some weeks ago with reports on strange behaviour
when moving from MacOS to Windows. My stacks have now started to work
again and although I haven't managed to replicate the exact
circumstances for my problems I would like to issue the following
warning:

NEVER use the crossed-over equal sign in your scripts (use <> instead
for the not equal operator) for ANY purpose (not even within quoted
text). Although it seems to work under MacOS it seems like loads of
unrelated scripts starts to fail under Windows (this could be the reason
why all my function calls stopped working). That the crossed over = sign
can do strange things is likely from the following behaviour on MacOS:
Open a script and press apple-F (i.e. start a search). Then try to type
the crossed-over = sign. It won't appear where you might expect it to
appear. Rather than appearing in your search-string it appears in the
script!

My problems appeared in MetaCard 2.3.2
