To Whom it may concern,

I mentioned this in an earlier message but I got no answer. I was trying to avoid having my downloads of the newest Versions of Gambit- C held up by Microsoft's security so I downloaded Version 3.0 which worked on my old Macintosh.

I downloaded the Microsoft Virtual C++ version from your site and when I got it I started using it. In the first line I typed an opening and closing parenthesis. Instead of those I got an opening and closing angle bracket *<* and *>* . Unless Scheme has recently changed from using parenthesis to angle brackets something seems wrong.

Couldn't someone at Montreal check to see what has happened at their site? I doubt that I've got a virus that only effects Gambit-C. I downloaded DrScheme and that works all right.

I only checked the parenthesis and the angle brackets, I don't know what else could be wrong with Version 3.0 on your site.

I will try to reproduce this on a Windows PC tonight. Please give more information:

1) Which version of Windows? Is it XP or Vista? Which service pack?

2) Which keyboard setting (english/US, or ...)?

3) Are you executing it from a Windows console, Cygwin console, or MSYS console?

4) Can you send me a transcript (cut&pasted) or a screenshot of your screen?
