special characters in file names

[Ken Weinert]

I know *what* the problem is, just not where to fix it.

The difficulty is that I am processing some files that have a ';' in the
name (they are versioned VMS files written to an NFS file system.)

The problem is that a2ps doesn't properly quote the files when it
delegates or otherwise passes the filename on a command line when it is
processing it.

I've "fixed" the problem by renaming the files in the parent shell
script before passing the file on to a2ps.

Oh, version 4.12 - if this is fixed in 4.13 I'll just grab it, but I
didn't see this mentioned.

Thanks for an otherwise great tool.
