Not really true. It is possible to put a \0 in the file name by using
BSTRs instead of C strings. The only character that cannot be in a
OFS or FFS file name is a slash. Even that could be put in a name
with a disk editor, if nothing else. However, I imagine there would
be problems openning it if nothing else. -- Darren
