Best bet is to not have anything weird going on with directory /
filenames. :) Life is so much easier! It's just an old habit of mine to
not have spaces or strange chars floating around... but MS seems to
encourage it to users who are exploring launching Internet services. (c:
\Windows Users <--prime example) The use of the space char is reserved
for old time UNIX /etc/host file usage, that specifies aliases, from
what I recall. It's legacy, but still in use. I use it, as I'm too lazy
to setup DHCP for just a couple of machines on my local net. So, a space
or any other forbidden character, just gums up the works for now.
"Illegal filename characters: \ (backslash), / (forward slash), :
(colon), * (asterisk), ? (question mark), " (double quotes), < (left
angle bracket), > (right angle bracket), | (pipe). Most of these are
Windows OS constraints; Mac allows all except a colon (though a forward
slash, /, can cause issues for POSIX paths). The aim here is to allow
problem-free cross-platform use. An all-Windows or all-Mac organization
may need to interact with others using different OSs, so the safe method
is to observe both OS' limitations, even if you mostly/always work on
only one OS."

So, best bet, consider all paths/filenames to be handled as URL's, which
OWL/Java seems to handle everything as. Follow those rules, keep paths
and filenames clean and lower case, everything is dandy.
"Anyway, don't feel compelled to apply all of the above rules. Rather,
be aware of them and apply them as appropriate. If you are starting a
new collection or re-ordering old content you're at the right point to
get some discipline into the naming. If some or all of your new content
comes in from external sources and is poorly named, sit down with your
partners make sure good naming rules are in the contract. Then, if it's
wrong, they can rename files at their time/expense - a good
encouragement for them to adopt good practice from outset."
There's plenty else to worry with. My database refuses to open and I'm
on that witch hunt. But, I do know it's not because of a directory /
filename problem. <grins hugely> Ric
