Hi, Mason,
Yes, thank you for this. It is most enlightening.
There were two files that had an error extracting, but WinRAR corrected
them:
One had a question mark in the filename which is a
wild card for a single character in Windows
The other had a string of asterisks and an asterisk is a
wild card for any number of characters, hence the
infamous del *.* command where you erase everything.
It replaced the ? and * with underscores _
Cheers,
Richard
