Naming files with Greek letters

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

[[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 ]]
