Diego,

Thank you for the offer but I'm already working on it.  It is not as
easy to fix as it would seem.  The problem is what to do when you do not
have write access to the library with the invalid characters.  I have a
few ideas but it will take me a while to get it the way I want it.

Cheers,

Wayne
