It hasn't been a problem mainly due to the m100 user not naming their files
with asterisks in it. Unfortunately, T-Base does so I made the tweak for one
character. the "*" ---> "^". This is a simple fix and it works. As Brian
pointed out, any other TPDD server can still read the file. Worse case is you
have to rename it.

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 :-)
