The rules for what constitutes a valid file name will vary between
various operating systems. In most cases file names which lack an
embedded device and/or directory specification will go to some "current"
area, but sometimes that area will not exist or will not be writable
by the user.
One cannot write a program which uses files without some knowledge of
the operating system environment(s).
