I am pretty shure, I tested the capability of filenames on a Linux (ext2) or
Solaris (ufs) filesystem, a long time ago
The outcome was, that you can use 254 different characters, except the '\0' and
the '/'.
But I agree, it is an annoyance it should be forbidden. ;)
The person who invented that spaces and other unprintable characters were allowed in
filenames and paths should be found, his PC and iPhone should be confiscated, he should be
exiled to an isolated island in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, and he should be nominated
for an IgNobel. The person at Microsoft who decided that "C:\Program Files" was an
acceptable place to install programs should be sent along as his butler.
