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

I have had this happen with a data file that a Amiga program called
micronote created.  When put on floppy disk (with CrossDOS) the file
totally dissapeared, or it would only show note.dat (when the real file was
called µnote.data), which could not be opened because it says it did not
exist.
