Interesting, I don't see any characters in there that would be illegal
filename characters in Windows. Do you?

The question mark characters, '?', can not be used in a filename
According to
http://www.grouplogic.com/knowledge/index.cfm/fuseaction/view_Info/docID/111
"The following characters are invalid as file or folder names on Windows
using NTFS:
/ ? < > \ : * | " and any character you can type with the Ctrl key
In addition to the above illegal characters the caret ^ is also not permitted
under Windows Operating Systems using the FAT file system."

and at: http://www.ss64.com/ntsyntax/faq.html
"Legal characters in NTFS include the following: [ ] . ; = ( )
The period (.) cannot be the first or only character in the filename
Illegal Characters:
The following characters are not permitted in Windows file or directory names:
/ \ : * ? " < > |
Thanks for the references, Darel. Hmmm, the reference[1] I've been
using, which is from Microsoft, contains the set
< > : " / \ |
This set lacks the ? and * characters. Can anyone explain the discrepancy?
