Yes, the runtimes are different. Therefore, you get different results.
If you want your program to do what you want, then you'll have to quote the
quotes as I've told you before. E.G.: MyProg -i ^"This Should Work^" or \"This
Should Work\". You might want to check out an appropriate MS news group or
visit the MSDN to get more info on quoting with the DOS/WIN32 runtimes.
