>From the time I worked in Adobe technical support, there are a number of
recommendations given from the days when FrameMaker was on multiple
platforms, such as:
avoid filenames with spaces, tabs, or initial periods
avoid using characters that have special meaning on some
operating systems, such as: / \ : ; * ? > < , $ % |
avoid using very long filenames
avoid using very long pathnames
remember some operating systems are CaSe SeNsItIvE
The most important rule to remember is:
always use UNIX style pathnames!
Why? FrameMaker will interpret backslash sequences as special codes,
for example:
C:\etc\hosts.fm
will interpret the '\e' as a horizontal elipse "...". The fix is to
reference: C:/etc/hosts.fm
Even though FrameMaker is no longer multi-platform, the recommendations
still persist.
