Yes.
I sent a patch in to this list about three months ago that, together
with some instructions on how to set up Samba, set things up so that the
iso-latin character set is used by both systems (samba & netatalk) to
represent filenames. This code could easily be modified to change \r
into something pc-readable. See if you can find my old mail, and I will
to and redistribute it to you.
BTW. Do you have a list of which characters are illegal? Would be
helpful.
