slash in file name on OS X

[Alex Shaw]

Hi Mark

To see it, try creating a folder on your OSX desktop called "/\?*|"

Open up the Terminal, cd to the "Desktop" & do a "ls" listing command.

You will see that even though the folder on the desktop seems ok, 
physical name has been stored as ":\?*|"

XP does not allow the following -> \/:*?<>|

Personally, I filter these out for apps which I know will have to be 
cross-platform.

regards
alex
