Yup. No questioning the undefined behaviour. My question was, can we do
anything with it.

 So, when I got a CD on the amiga containing some files with legal
characters 
 under workbench but illegal under windows, then tried to access the
CD on a 
 windows machine (specifically the badly named files), some dodgy
behaviour 
 happened. Files started "dissapearing" from the CD etc... Didn't go
much 
 further than this...

Erm. Look up the ISO9660 standard. And the various extensions. And the
fact that behaviour IS undefined if you do not adhere to standards.

SaS
