Actually the situation on Mac is the following: you cannot use ":" for file 
names, and if you use "a/b" then you can check that on the disk the real name 
of the file is "a:b". 
I would suggest not to use special characters in file names. Even if some 
applications handle them correctly is possible that for others they pose 
problems.
