[ROOT] Invalid characters in TFile name

Hello rooters,

I've noticed that the version of the system call 'open' used in TFile (win32
version of root 3.03) does not accept the full set of characters which are
valid on the OS. Among that characters that aren't allowed are [ and ] (so
filename myfile[1].root) is not allowed. However, there is nother inherently
wrong with this filename (windows allows it for all other files). Is there
anyway around this?

Brandon
