Marcio,
I checked and I do believe it's a bug in Anthill OS. I put some updated
pagelets you download at
http://www.urbancode.com/download/anthill_os/vss.zip that contain the
quotes as you describe. I believe this will also resolve the problem of
SSDIR not getting picked up. You need to replace the contents of your
conf/profiles/Win32/win_vss directory with the contents of the zip and
restart your servlet container. Please let me know if that works for you
and I'll resolve the issue and merge the fix.
Regards,
Brian
