PC/DR/MS-DOS did not allow the '+' sign as a character in a filename. And I vaguely remember when saving to a floppy (sadly, dating myself there...), you could not use a '+' in a filename saved from Windows 95. Going by a old DRDOS manual, you could not use any of " * + , / : ; < = > ? \ [ ] | in a filename and a space could not be used as the first character of a filename.
