Arpad-

To me, the word "are" implies that double quotes are required; and double quotes-always is clearly a safe bet. I will admit that SiSoft's implementation is more permissive than that.

In retrospect, perhaps we should have said
String literal values can be delimited using double quotes ("), and must be delimited in that way if the string contains white space. No double quotes are allowed inside a string literal.

Should'a would'a could'a.

Hello AMI experts,
I have a question related to the parameter string that is
passed into the AMI DLL.  On pg. 187 the spec says:
Does this mean that when we have a string type parameter,
they MUST be surrounded by double quotes when passed into
the DLL?
For example, if I said this in the .ami file: (Ignore_Bits (Usage Info) (Type String) (Default Three) would I have to send (Ignore_Bits "Three") to the DLL have? A related question, what should be in the .ami file, the line as shown
above, or should that line also have a double quote around "Three"?
Thanks, Arpad
