[Rets-dev] DMQL2 query

[Keith T. Garner]

I had thought so too, Sergio, until I was looking into it myself.  (Then
Paul's mail came in and I dropped it.)

The relevant sections:
  string-eq ::= 1*ALPHANUM
  range ::= between | greater | less
  between ::= ( period | number | string-eq ) - ( period | number | string-eq )

From the section Paul sited.
