Sigh.. Well I have run into something like this with file names from a 
unix system that I tried to unpack to a Windows machine. The fact that 
this particular program included make files and headers that where 
'supposed' to let it compile under windows didn't change the fact that 
most programs like WinZip are apparently not smart enough to know the 
limitations of the system they run on and offer to let you rename the 
damn things. I can imagine a similar situation for files in POV, so... :( 
Oh well... :p
