Re: Strange SA/NV behavior--BK is culprit

[Paul Lagasse pglagasse@xxxxxxxx]

Nice.
Yr remark about illegal characters got me thinking -- Ascii-63 is legal
in Linux; files or directories with it show up in Dosemu/Xy4 with their
names modified in some way so as to hide the character, and the original
filename is preserved when the file is saved as long as bk=0. So it even
works with a Linux file named dir.tx?/dir.tx

Here's a fix:
 

And here's a slight revision to the fix. The original fix used
Ascii-14 as a parsing character that would be unlikely to appear in
any d:\path\filename. But it occurred to me that there is a set of
characters that cannot possibly appear in any filename (because
they're illegal), and that any of these would be a better choice for
this purpose than Ascii-14 (which is legal). So I've changed the two
instances of Ascii-14 to Ascii-63 ("?").
