Well in the old DOS days '..' pointed to the parent directory - I wonder where it
points now (in your case).
This still applies when used in pathnames, so maybe NT has to accept it has a valid
filename - perhaps you can make '..' point somewhere else.
I agree, seems bad to accept this as a filename, okay as long it is only part of the
pathname.

Yes, if its created by NT's copy. Simply unreal.
