hi ya alan
yuppers... ooppss... am smoking funny stuff again... ( just woke up )
meant its a pain to save/restore those whacky names on *nix from
bash/perl and tar|find vs find|tar makes difference too
and win98 wont allow mkdir "foo/tmp" nor "foo\0tmp" as their dirnames
at least not the simple command line way in dosprompt
- leave it to users to trip up the scripts...
thanx 4 the fun stuff
