Hi, If I recall correctly, TeX had (has?) trouble if anywhere in the full path name to the TeX source file there was a period other than the expected one in the TeX source file "source.tex". Thus periods were excluded. To be safe and to be compatible with all file systems, we restricted file names to letters, digits, and underscores. Off the top of my head I can't think of a good reason not to allow hyphens. Arnie |
