Hi Andy and Bjoern,

thanks for the bug reports which are easy to fix (I tried to use
the same routine for character printing in character constants
and strings, which was not a good idea). It will be fixed in the
next (experimental) relase of PAKCS, probably in a couple of days.

Best regards,

Michael
