Hello, Andrew!

    Answer fo letter from Andrew Leary (1:320/219) to Mikhail Stakhanov,

 MS>> The question is:
 MS>> What have to do default code page on send filename by mailer?
 MS>> Second:
 MS>> Can You write all possible simbols on filenames ?
 MS>> 3rd:
 MS>> Is the " " is not wrong on filenames ?
 MS>> If Yes, I will put "_" insread " ".

 AL> 8.3 DOS compatible filenames using ASCII characters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3_filename:
Legal characters for DOS filenames include the following:
Upper case letters A-Z
Numbers 0-9
>>OK!

Space (though trailing spaces in either the base name or the extension are
considered to be padding and not a part of the filename, also filenames with
spaces in them must be enclosed in quotes to be used on a DOS command line, and
 if the DOS command is built programmatically, the filename must be enclosed in
 quadruple quotes when viewed as a variable within the program building the DOS
 command.)
>> If i modefied qico ? OK ? qfls.* will have "filenames".

! # $ % & ' ( ) - @ ^ _ ` { } ~
>> OK!

Values 128-255 (though if NLS services are active in DOS, some characters
interpreted as lowercase are invalid and unavailable)
>> How about this ?
>> For me is interesting for Russian names of file.
