GeoQO On Windows Notes
GeoQO on windows does have a few oddities just because of windows itself.
GUI Usage
Gtk2 vs Tk
The Gtk2 GUI system is better than the Tk one, but I don't believe Gtk2 exists under ActiveState perl yet.

Command Line Usage
Single Quotes
Many of the geoqo examples use single quotes (') for quoting certain command line commands. However, windows doesn't deal with these the same way that unix does (where the documentation was written) so anytime you see single quotes, replace them with double quotes. IE:
geoqo -s 'cache:owner_name=Yamar' -l
should be:
geoqo -s "cache:owner_name=Yamar" -l
Equal Sign Issues
Windows does strange things with command line options that contain equal signs (=). You must quote them using double quotes when typing on windows (unix and macs don't exhibit this problem). As an example:
geoqo -s cache:owner_name=Yamar -l
Actually will fail with an odd error. Instead quote it:
geoqo -s "cache:owner_name=Yamar" -l
(when in doubt, quote it!)
