Is that really so? I mean, HFS+ traditionally allowed slashes in filenames,
and as far as I know HFS+ is still pretty much HFS+.
Take the case of a Mac that's been running OS 9, and the user upgrades it to
OS X. Does the upgrade somehow change the names of the files stored on the
disk? Or are they still stored exactly as they were, the same bit of Unicode
up to 255 characters, but Cocoa does some magic so it *sees* any slashes as
colons (and stores any colons as slashes)?
Academic, I know, but I'm just curious.
