Are you using _exactly_ the same version of -esttab- on both *NIX and Windows?
The field end of line string for tex is set on line 217 (under *!
version 2.0.5 09mar2009 Ben Jann ) as...
local tex_end `"\\\"'
I suspect it is set as this because it has something to do with the
first '\' escaping the second '\'.
Quite why this is the case/required I'm not sure as the -man comments-
page only lists '//' and '///' as being comment delimiters.
I vaguely remember a similar problem with Roger Newson's -listtex-
which he resolved fairly quickly.
Sorry thats not much, but checking version should be a start to see
why there are differences.
