hi romuald
the only whacky filenames/directories i was able to create (mkdir) on
win98 was...
foo tmp space
foo'tmp apostrophe
foo`tmp back-tick
foo$sale
foo!tmp
foo#tmp
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
foo%tmp
foo^tmp
foo(tmp
foo)tmp
foo[tmp
foo]tmp
and i think you can play tricks with backspace'd names and escapes
and you cannot save/create/restore these files on *nix....
-- you'd need some kind of filename mapping
- which is where the pain comes in for "janesmith's file names"
these are okay for *nix
foo_tmp
foo.tmp
and foo/tmp is not allowed by mkdir in win98
have fun
