`winrename' is a program that renames all files and directories recursively,
making character substitutions for all file name patters that are illegal on
the Windows NTFS filesystem or cause trouble with the Samba file server.

All control characters are illegal; for example: ^D
The illegal graphic characters are:   / \ : * ? " < > |

It is also problematic when serving files over Samba for a file to
    - begin with white space
    - end with white space
    - contain more than one period character
    - start or end with a period character
    - contain a non-alphanumeric file extension
