Naming files with Greek letters

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Using the extended ASCII characters (Alt key plus the numbers 224 through
239 using the NumPad), Greek letters can be created and used to name files.

Any Windows OS problems with this?

Thanks

[[File names in Windows XP Professional can be up to 255 characters and can
contain spaces, multiple periods, and special characters that are not
allowed in MS-DOS file names.]]

[[The 8.3 format means that files can have between 1 and 8 characters in the
file name. The name must start with a letter or a number and can contain
any characters except the following:

. " / \ [ ] : ; | = , * ? (space)

Several special file names are reserved by the system and cannot be used for
files or folders:

CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, PRN, NUL ]]
