Hi,
"+" is special to DOS at least with the copy command in that
"copy a+b.txt" means:
take file "a" and file "b.txt" and concatenate them giving file a.
A file named "a+b.txt" is legal with windows but not with DOS.
By the way, the treatment of + in filenames has been changed
with PHP 4.3. Since then a+b.txt is one filename, quoted or not.
