Need to lose the Microsoft `smart quotes' in the code examples

It really grates and also means that any attempt to cut and paste from the PDF would fail.

I have downloaded the samples code today and get that kind of error on "CH2\2.4.1":
E:\Ruby in Practice\Code\CH2\2.4.1>ruby ps_checker_with_fixture.rb
Loaded suite ps_checker_with_fixture
Started
EE
Finished in 0.015 seconds.
1) Error:
test_initialized(TestProcessChecker):
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - ps -A
./process_checker.rb:3:in ``'
./process_checker.rb:3:in `initialize'
ps_checker_with_fixture.rb:6:in `new'
ps_checker_with_fixture.rb:6:in `setup'
2) Error:
test_rails_server(TestProcessChecker):
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - ps -A
./process_checker.rb:3:in ``'
./process_checker.rb:3:in `initialize'
ps_checker_with_fixture.rb:6:in `new'
ps_checker_with_fixture.rb:6:in `setup'
2 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 2 errors
I have changed the file "process_checker.rb" taking out the smart quotes, and get it right:
E:\Ruby in Practice\Code\CH2\2.4.1>ruby ps_checker_with_fixture.rb
Loaded suite ps_checker_with_fixture

..
Finished in 0.0 seconds.

Marcic, these look like but are not accidental smartquotes. In Ruby you can use the backtick to execute a command and capture its output, so `ps -A` runs the ps command, which lists all running processes, and returns that list as a string.
Windows doesn't have the ps command, contrary to what the README file says. I changed the README file to be clearer about that.

Hi Assaf,
Sorry to miss the backtick meaning.
But we have a similar command in Windows should be: `mem /c `
I works fine for me.
Regards.
