Actually, they can (for as long as I've been using Unix, and that's been
since 1989). The only two characters you *can't* use at all are the '/'
(which is used to separate directories) and the NUL character (binary
pattern of all zeros---which is used to mark the end of a string in C, which
is what Unix is implemented in). And there may be further restrictions
depending upon the filesystem type that the file is stored on (for
instatance, MS-DOS filenames can't start with the character who's binary
pattern is 11100101).
-spc (Now using a filename with spaces is ... interesting ... at the shell
level ...)
