Re: Valid characters on one o/s are invalid on another

["Tim" <webmaster () crazy-horse net>]

Windows 98 used to have a problem with accessing directories created with
the character ALT+255 which is an unprintable character. You could go to
command prompt, create a directory named the ALT+255 char and then try
accessing it with explorer with no luck. I believe MS eventually just
filtered the character rather than fixing it like they should have. If you
try creating that directory in win2k it will tell you that you've entered an
invalid syntax or something along those lines. Leave it to them to avoid an
issue rather than solving it.
