[COOT] backup file names

2022-12-02 Thread David J. Schuller
The files in the coot-backup directory incorporate the date into their name. 
This caused a problem for one of our users, as the colon is a forbidden 
character in the file transfer application used, which is Globus. Here is the 
error message:

I suggest it would be preferable to substitute something else, such as an 
underscore, for the colon in naming the files.
