You can change that in recording.c:

tCharExchange CharExchange[] = {
  { '~',  '/'    },
  { ' ',  '_'    },
  { '\'', '\x01' },
  { '/',  '\x02' },
#ifdef VFAT
  { ':',  '\x03' },
#endif
  { 0, 0 }
  };

Insert for instance

 { '?',  '\x04' },

between the VFAT 'ifdef'.
Let me know if this works (I don't do VFAT ;-).
If there are any other characters that are not allowed on VFAT,
please let me know.

I hope one day we will be able to completely get rid of this Windoze sh**...
