All West Wind tools make one assumption: That SET EXACT OFF.
This has been done for performance reasons (at the time) to avoid having to set and reset settings through out the myriad off functions in the framework.

Hi Rick,
Just wanted to report a simple issue that may have already been fixed. (Have not updated in a while)
I was having problems after deploying a new update to a clients system. In a nutshell, I was able to trace it to the deserialize routine being dependent on the environment to function correctly. (I.E. "exact" being set to "off")
I made it work by saving/restoring "exact", but real fix should be in deserialize itself. (My opinion)
Instead of using "=" (with entire param string) and relying on "exact off"...
Strip first char and check it...
Anyway, I'm a great fan and don't know how you do it. (I still think you have discovered a way to clone yourself!) I will enter a "Success Story" post about how I have used your code.
