I'm not sure which manual that is, but the page at

	http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html/

currently has, in section 2.2.7, a real minus sign:

	nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools

which, if I run "pbpaste | od -bc", shows:

0000000   040 156 155 141 153 145 040 055 146 040 115 141 153 145 146 151
               n   m   a   k   e       -   f       M   a   k   e   f   i
0000020   154 145 056 156 155 141 153 145 040 166 145 162 151 146 171 137
           l   e   .   n   m   a   k   e       v   e   r   i   f   y   _
0000040   164 157 157 154 163                                            
           t   o   o   l   s                         

which shows a real hyphen there.  The same is true of

	http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html#ChToolsWin32Verify

If Yuyin was copying and pasting from one of those documents, I hope neither whatever browser was showing that page nor cmd.exe was "helpfully" translating the minus sign to some other character.
