Why were <> used instead of "" for include files?

["Mitchell, Raymond" <Ra...@intuit.com>]

I was just wondering why the include directives in Xerces-C use the <>
system path indicators instead of the "" user path indicators.

Thanks,
Ray

Mainly because its simpler, and therefore easy to understand what the
results will be. It searches compiler line includes first, then the include
path. The "" form will search a lot of current directories, then do the <>
stuff.
