1) It is something you are doing. If you're on Linux or some other
UNIX,
you DON'T want to have spaces in directory or file names. It breaks
things!
Disagree.
Spaces are perfeclty legal in UNIX filenames.
Yep. Some non-printable characters are legal, too, if I am not mistaken.
Non-printable characters in file names can trick the user. White-spaces
in file names can cause "interesting" things in shell scripts.
Not all legal filenames are wise file names.
UNIX Software, which doesn't support all legal UNIX filenames, is broken.
Most shells are broken in that sense. And that's quite annoying.
