Re: Valid file-name characters
Wayne,
As far back as Unix v6 (for a quaint old processor called the PDP-11) the
only characters forbidden for use in Unix path names were the slash and the
NUL.
Just out of curiosity, are there any Unix or Unix-alike systems with
Unicode file name support? Linux? Windows?
