Not just Perl (Score:1)

by Odud (1047) on 2002.02.27 5:51 (#5179) Journal

Smart quotes cause me problems in lots of other ways - for example if you copy text from a Word document into non-MS apps then the spell/syntax checker doesn't recognise the ASCII characters used and flags them as errors. Of course when you look at it on the screen it doesn't look wrong...

Yet another example of MS making MS products compatible with MS products only.... or am I being paranoid?
