How does code that does not work in windows make life easier for the widows user? You think that it is alright for programmers to not test their code ducking under the excuse that the other OS, costs money? You think that it is just fine for Windows programmers to not only have to pay for the OS they use, but to be forced to do the testing that the Unix programmer refused to do? Nice double tax that. Of course writing portable code is hard. Writing good code is hard. Excuses are easy. Can't afford the OS?— surely someone know to the author has a windows box? Hell worst case email me and I'll help to the extent that I can. It really isn't that hard to find a solution to this problem— but only if an effort is made to look.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
