I just came across a strange problem.  I had a file on our DEC-20,
LOGIN&.CMD, which is stored as LOGIN^V&.CMD -- that is, with a
Control-V before the special character.  I tried to send it to the IBM
PC using Kermit, which uses the DOS function call (int 21H) to create
a file.  DOS complained with the error DISK FULL.  When I renamed the
file to LOGIN.CMD it worked OK.  It seems, therefore, that the disk
was not full but rather there is a bug in DOS if there is a
non-standard character in the filename.  Has anyone seen this before?
