Subject: [9fans] Beating the dead horse: blanks in filenames
Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 10:36:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D3D9424.2040902@nas.com> (raw)

I was forwarding part of the previous thread on to a friend who studies 
Japanese in his spare time, regarding onji and haiku, and spaces in 
language in general.

I'm guessing in most languages, not having spaces in filenames is 
probably not such a big deal.  Are there any common languages anyone can 
think of where it might be a huge deal, or at least as troublesome as 
typing filenames left-to-right instead of right-to-left (without doing a 
little coding)?

Not accepted by the UTC, so there goes my Phaistos Disk Turing Machine. 
  I was really looking forward to doing the CD labels, too.
