Subject: Pages with colon don't work (Cgywin?)
Have installed mvs under Cygwin environment on WinXP. Installed through CPAN. I can successfully use MVS to update/commit most pages (i.e. 'mvs update Page_Like_This.wiki'), but if I try to get a page with a colon in the name (i.e. 'mvs update User:Ewindes.wiki'), an empty file named "User" is created instead of the expected file. I think that this is a Cygwin limitation, because when I do "touch User:Ewindes.wiki" from the Cygwin shell, I get the same result. Can you suggest a work-around? Is there some way that MVS could substitute another character for the colon when it is creating the filename to save?
