Anyone have any ideas how that should be translated?
This is partly due to the way Sunfish translates filenames; it uses ? as an escape character. Therefore when the file was copied the ?16 got translated to ASCII 22 which is a control character. If HostFS does not translate the control character, then when it gets to RISC OS it is treated as the filename terminator. Other than Sunfish, I'm not aware of any filing systems that try (or indeed need) to cope with this, so I suggest using the same scheme as Sunfish. The source code is available from my website if you want to see exactly what translation it does.
