Some people here seem to be hung on the definition of printable and non-printable. There's an easy fix to that: explicitly define what byte values are acceptable in the spec.</blockquote><div><br><br>Agreed. I'd also remind everyone of the basic network programming tenet: "Be conservative in what you send, liberal with what you accept."<br>
<br>I am absolutely against removing leading spaces or collapsing spaces in objects received by a station. I think modifying the original sender's object names is a very dangerous thing to do indeed. As for software allowing these things to be sent, that I don't care about either way - so long as we don't modify what gets sent. Remember MIC-E translation?<br>
