(I'll assume the above is sarcastic, and not meant to be factual. A couple of trillion dollars is a lot of money, regardless of the exchange rate.) Actually, spaces have been allowed in file names since reasonably early in UNIX history; however, since UNIX users back then were smarter than the average Microsoft, spaces and other odd characters were avoided unless obfuscation was desired. The nutty idea wasn't allowing spaces but instead requiring their use for any and all normal activities - for that Microsoft should be awarded the opposite of the Nobel peace prize. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
