This is probably for Jeremy and Andrew,
I want to know if illegal_name() should go away...
There is an internal function called illegal_name() in mangle.c.
Basically, it checks an input string to determine whether it contains any
of the following illegal characters:
"*\\/?<>|\":"
There is also a macro called isdoschar() which tests a character to see if
it is a legal DOS character. This macro appears to return True for
alphanumeric characters (isalnum()) and for characters in
"._^$~!#%&-{}()@'`"
illegal_name() is only used once:
BOOL name_map_mangle( char *OutName, BOOL need83, int snum )
{
#ifdef MANGLE_LONG_FILENAMES
if( !need83 && illegal_name(OutName) )
need83 = True;
#endif
:

So... my question:
Is this a left-over from before the code-page stuff? If so should it,
perhaps, be written as:
static BOOL illegal_name( char *name )
{
while( *name )
{
if( !isdoschar( *name ) )
return( True );
}
return( False );
} /* illegal_name */
or should it, perhaps, be dropped?
