Forward slashes in filenames 2898

Actually not -- the '-'s used as file name separators are never stored in the file name part of the directory 'file'. The problem is when slashes occur as file *content*.

Actually, there is a way to do this -- to misquote from Star Wars: "Use the source". Just poke through your kernel sources for the iso fs module and use that as a 'model' for a program (probably it will have to be in C) that 'walks' the proper directory tree of the temp.iso file, fixing *just the file names* stored in the directory files. That is a 'smart' binary editor.

Another solution might be to beg, borrow, steal, etc. a Macinslosh with OS 9 and a an EtherNet connection (any IMac for example). Connect the Macinslosh to a Linux box with netatalk installed and make a suitable disk available to the Macinslosh. Use Chooser on the Macinslosh to connect to this disk and then drag the CD to the shared disk. I *believe* that netatalk can be convinced to do a filename character translation. Or maybe you can write some sort of AppleScript to copy the files, fixing the bad file names on the 'fly'.

and mount it there and drag the whole disk to a local disk. Connect the Macinslosh to a Linux box with netatalk installed and make a suitable disk
