    Oww thanks, my windows or linux doesn't report, it just extracts. These files are not important, just results from a paper I had to put online.

    But thanks for reporting, I will change those file names now..

      *ix operating systems pretty much allow any character in their file names. I think about the only forbidden ASCII character is the forward slash.
