It stops most users: some of those spaces are chr(32) others are
chr(255). You'll have to try every one. Also the upsidedown ! works
like the sigma trick below. Also directory like: "H " are good.
It looks like a "H" in DOS and Windoze can't read it. DELTREE wont
even erase it.
BTW, How did you know it was a sigma that I tried first? <BG> 'Twas
for a game I called Sigma 25, inwhich you mades lines add up to 25.

I hate the "&" in NT. I'm forced to use it and they only give us 10MB
of HDD space, no zip drives and no Winzip. So when trying to zipup a
file to span with "pkzip -ex -& a:\file" kept resulting in "The
system cannot find the EXE, COM or batch file" [or similar]. :(
heh heh I had to get onto the "outdated" 486 computers to do this.
Unfortuneatley it took a few tries as the floppy drives are getting
bad.
