Are the Mac files using any ILLEGAL Windows characters? The Mac pretty
much allows any character in a filename, as long as it is escaped
properly, while Windows can't handle things like...
? [ ] / \ = + < > : ; " ,
The Mac will pretty much allow any of them to be used in a filename.

"I place economy among the first and most important republican
virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared.
To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with
perpetual debt."
-- Thomas Jefferson, third US president, architect and author (1743-1826)
"Give Peace a Chance" -- John Lennon (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980)
Peace may sound simple—one beautiful word— but it requires everything
we have, every quality, every strength, every dream, every high ideal.
—Yehudi Menuhin (1916–1999), musician
If you think you can, or you think you can't, you are probably right.
—Mark Twain
