There was an error in the reply "It used to be that...". I the poster meant
(I believe) that if you named a file thusly --> aaa:bbb:ccc
then the Finder (OS9 and below) does change that to --> aaa-bbb-ccc
There may have been some confusion introduced because of that. To my
experience, there is no problem naming a file using the "/" character in OS9
and below.
HTH.
