Minor corruption if d/l code

I've noticed a couple times in past few days that if I <d/l code> from the Monastery, every "; is converted to just " If it makes any difference, I'm sucking code down to 2 different Debian 2.2 boxes using Netscape 4.75, followed by dos2unix filename. All other lines appear to be unaffected.

Anyone else experience this, or am I just making some boneheaded mistake?

I just did some testing and don't see this problem. I went to Ghost (wordgame) and selected the "d/l code" link and got lots of cases of `";`. This was under IE 5 under Win98, Netscape 4.51 under WinNT, and Lynx 2.8.3. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply] [d/l]

i haven't noticed that, but what i have noticed is that the code has a mixture of line endings, which causes VIM to act a little funny. the whole code has CR LF pairs, then there are three LF's at the end. this confuses my poor editor.	[reply]
