I think your suggested fix is good, but it begs the question: Why on earth is JFS worried about the filename, anyways? Why has it *ever* had *any* behavior other than "string of bytes, delimited with /, terminated with \0" ? I read your response about OS/2, and maybe I'm just slow, but I don't see what that has to do with anything. Does JFS on AIX have the same buggy behavior? What behavior was the code originally designed to implement, on OS/2? Why was that behavior chosen rather than "filenames are a string of bytes"? Feel free to point to a "Design of the OS/2 JFS interface" document if such exists and answers my question. :) -andy
