   Agreed.  Why would anyone use the software that is outright refusing to   
   implement FTS guidelines for filename escaping?  One that would knowingly fix   
   compatibility issues with legacy BINKP implementations?   
      
   It took a whole hour to get this implemented when it was asked to be added   
   into Mystic and the person who asked didn't have to endure a bunch of drama!   
      
   Other options are right :)
