I think it is more of a problem with windows. The file system supports it but the OS does not. I encounter similar problems using NT boxes to file serve to macs, mac users save using filenames that are perfectly legal on macs, the NTFS file system accepts it, and yet no windows users can open it and sometimes you cant even access them at the console of the nt box! u gotta go back to a mac and rename it. I'd expect for such a hot shit operating system it would know the file name is not valid and either rename it automatically (the mac does this when you try to name something with a ":") or not allow the file to be saved at all. not that im a mac fan, i hate those things too, but if they can do it..NT should too. Maybe win2k will have this feature. i wont hold my breath.*cough* marcus >Alternatively, you can run Winzip straight on the xxx_tar.gz file.
