Subject: The Holy Grail of MacOS/Windows compatability

I've been looking for an extension to map out the "bad" characters from
Mac file names to make life more cross-platform friendly. (For example:
something to keep my Mac users from typing a "/" in a file name. NT
doesn't like that.) Any ideas?
Any programmers out there? I assume it would be a quick extension since
the Mac already maps out the color character from Mac file names. So it
would be a case of adding to the existing code.
Thanks!
