OS X. It's GUI too nice for its own good in this case (though via terminal
it doesn't allow you to make such file names). It doesn't prevent "/" being
used either, which as you would know can cause major problems when FTP or
terminal commands come into play.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Simon
