	I can't see % them being translated to _ anywhere in
	te translate tables: this may be from something
	else.  

 3. I have looked at the code and can not find where % or %s is xlated
to _
 
	Gurus, I see three places that might be the culprit: 

	1) unix_convert() in filename.c whacks everything but
	[A-Z], [a-z], [0-9], "-", "." and "_", but apparently 
	only if it's talking to a printer.  It's heavily used:

  File      Function                   Line
1 nttrans.c reply_ntcreate_and_X        747
unix_convert(fname,conn,0,& 
					bad_path, NULL);
2 nttrans.c call_nt_transact_create    1119 
3 reply.c   reply_chkpth               1029
4 reply.c   reply_getatr               1102
5 reply.c   reply_setatr               1167
1 reply.c   reply_search               1274 
2 reply.c   reply_open                 1535
3 reply.c   reply_open_and_X           1626
4 reply.c   reply_mknew                1749
5 reply.c   reply_ctemp    
1 reply.c   reply_unlink               1918 
2 reply.c   reply_mkdir                3189
3 reply.c   reply_rmdir                3373 
4 reply.c   rename_internals           3500 
1 reply.c   rename_internals           3501
2 reply.c   reply_copy                 3832
3 reply.c   reply_copy                 3833
4 trans2.c  call_trans2open             223
2 trans2.c  call_trans2qfilepathinfo   1311
3 trans2.c  call_trans2qfilepathinfo   1349
4 trans2.c  call_trans2setfilepathinfo 1589
5 trans2.c  call_trans2setfilepathinfo 1619

	Can anyone tell me if this will be used for anything that
isn't a printer that will pass the conn->printer test?


	2) alpha_strcpy() converts everything except alphanumerics to '_'
	but it's only used in msg_deliver()

	3) do_compile() initializes all its unicode maps to '_' first...


	Suggestions?
