Well, it looks like Windows uses Unicode for filenames in NTFS. FAT uses the OEM character set.
The special characters are '\', '/', '.', '?', and '*' It wouldn't be a big deal to map those to/from other characters in LaddieAlpha since I already maintain a filename mapping table for various reasons (fix for the BA/DO issue, filename length, and various text file extensions -> DO). As to character sets... Model T extended characters could be mapped to / from their Unicode or OEM equivalents. The Unicode mappings were created in part for the HTERM project. We don't have mappings for the OEM character sets. It just hadn't been brought to my attention that this was a problem :-) -- John.
