Because your top-post came immediately after such a question i took it out of context. In any other respect, I take your response as rather... snobbish. Not sure > how much of it represent the fossil position, but If > Nothing i say should be interpreted as an official statement unless Richard echoes me ;). i'm just a minion here (though admittedly a loud one. ;) Feel free to ignore anything i say and i won't take it personally. i apologize if it came across as snobbish (i did - i admit that). i was following the wildcard thread and i get really sick of people blaming fossil for Windows' broken CLI handling and filename/getenv encoding, which puts me in a snarky state of mind. My apologies for that. > fossil does not *want* to support windows, then it should remove the > windows edition instead of so obviously looking down on its (I'd suppose > many) windows users. But thanks anyway. :-( > Fossil wants to - _i_ don't want to ;). Plenty of people here have put in a great deal of effort to work around Windows' deficiencies (and yes, they are deficiencies). As a good example, the filename handling code - all of it is there only to support OS(es) which do "their own thing" regarding encoding of filenames. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal
