I recently found a problem with some DOS illegal characters. See the attached picture for more information.

The picture shows me trying to cd to a directory named "A;x.CDuio" in windows. As shown in the picture DOSBox shows the correct dirname, but cd'ing to the given name isn't possible, although it exists in DOSBox.

It is not because of the .cdu, because if I change the ";" to a "-" everything works perfectly.

The reason why I used such a name is that I'm trying to get D.O.G. to generate perfect DOSBox shortnames. I'm close to that, but these "Illegal" DOS filename characters play a troublesome role in it.

Is there a way around this problem or is it just "Don't use it"?

And what is the complete list of Illegal characters for DOS filenames? I know ";" and "," are one of them, including the space.

Thanks,

Erik.
