Here are two things, either of which would define a problem:


1) Is it incompatible with the what freerouter expects or can tolerate?

2) Is it incompatible with what the DSNLEXER expects or can tolerate?


I don't know that the condition you state meets either of these criteria,
but I will investigate and get back to you.  The Quoted() function was
written to make DSNLEXER happy and however unusual things look there, as
long as those two code bodies agree, then it may not be an issue.  What does
it mean to "agree"?  This is the round-tripping of 8 bit text to and from
the quoted form, those two strings need to agree.  This may not look like
what you expect or want on disk.


Having said that, then are you saying a string like this:


AB"CD

On the way out, *before* quoting will be a problem?  Will not come back in
via DSNLEXER?  Have you verified this problem string with actual testing?


Thanks,
