Test results of Using Special Characters for Brisque File
& Folder Names
A. Raphaeli
August 29, 1996
The following is a list of Characters that I tested in different
files, Hotfolders, Destinations & Templates names. I marked with a "*" the
problematic characters and enclosed a message or/and a remark on the last column.
B = Beginning of the name M = Middle of the name E = End.
