how about a non-printing char in the name? ex ^@abc would list as "abc";
unfortunatly i don't know of anyway to change this except:
1) create a temp dir
2) move all files to the temp dir one by one (not *.*)
3) do a del *.* & the offending program will go away
or --
execute a child command.com with a 32K environment
do:
for %i in ( *.* ) do set %i=%i
& the look at the env to see if a control char is there
or --
do a "dir > tmp" & look for control chars in tmp
--noesis
