Mac to Novell filename issues may block copying

Just a small rant here: while most of us here can be proud that we "know better" than to use problematic characters, the best solution is for the computer OS and apps to just let us use any character.

Are there any Applescripts or programs that will automagically go and find these 'bad' characters and replace them? |
