I know, I know. It wasn't me that put the filenames there. Presumably the Microsoft system he used didn't have that restriction. I also know that modern Windows does have this restriction. Presumably dating back historically to the days of original DOS, ahidh used slashes as a marker for command language flags. But back then a program could still stick anything at all in the file name. And some did. - hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
