thanks for reporting this problem John.

in general, no spaces or special characters are included in filenames that get checked in, striving to follow naming conventions:

http://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#NamingConventions
=======================================================================================
* Avoid use of space characters, 'apostrophes' and "quotation marks" in file names
   since they can cause lots of problems for tools and search, especially when
    going from one operating system to another.
=======================================================================================

also, depending on the archive, any subdirectories below the main directories are "parking lots" for support files or legacy content.  they can safely be ignored.

howsomever, since Race20 is a legacy student project, and also had some things regarding an installer, am hoping to leave it alone if possible so that surgery doesn't result in unintended side effects.

hope that is OK - please advise if it is blocking progress and will pursue further.

all the best, Don
