All I know is that wine shouldn't use * and ? , since it is used in wildcards 
on both Unix and Windows !

The \ character is the separator between directories on Windows, but it is not 
forbidden on Unix. Wine is an Unix software, it should be allowed to use it 
too !

The " character is apparently not forbidden on Unix, so wine can use it.
