My advice is to find out which chars are really allowed and 
make a conversion table for all chars:

char ConvertToWin98[256];

where you map 'A' to 'A', 'B' to 'B', but '�' to 'A' and '�' to
'D'. Then you get AllowedChar = ConvertToWin98[NamesChar];

Better even, map it to a std::string to be able to convert one
char into two or even delete chars:

std::string ConvertToWin98[256];

and map '�' to 'E' and '�' to 'AE' and non-printables to ''.
