Raininstaller doesn't support the & Character

Post by hello123456 »

I'm about to release a skin, which I made in collaboration with another skinner.
So for the Author value of the Rainstaller.cfg I set "Author=Hello-123456 & Col-Darby", and I wrapped it up.
But to my surprise on the testing, the & symbol doesn't show up at all.
It becomes "Hello-123456 Col-Darby" with only 1 space between the names, so " & " gets reduced to " ".

Perhaps something to be fixed.

It's also a little display anomaly in RainBrowser. The "&" char is a concatenation symbol in AutoIt. I'll look into fixing the next time I mess with RainBrowser.

The & char is used for special purposes in dialog controls, but I'll take care of this for the next release.
