Just for those who don't know, in general *nix operating systems (and the various *nix file systems) disallow only '\0' and '/' in filenames. The '/' because obviously is the path separator, and '\0' because it's the end-of-string marker in C. When Larry said "Linux", he actually meant the shell he uses. -- TZOTZIOY, I speak England very best. "Dear Paul, please stop spamming us."
