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.
