If a filesystem has been used by other operating systems it might. Think of FAT, or NTFS (since it looks like the project to make NTFS usable through FUSE seems to be making progress). Does Windows normally allow the use of '/' in file names? In any case, I don't think this is going to ever really be an issue, and I suspect that the conversion for '/' was included in the spec for completeness. Nico --
