I have Orca 0.27 running, and it generates files with ()'s in them.  
Solaris 8 has no problem with that, nor does my Apache server 1.3.26.

Try browsing directly to the file using file://whatever -- my guess is 
that the HTML code in the corresponding webpage isn't quoting or 
escaping the characters properly.  HTML doesn't like spaces and 
questionmarks and stuff, so it replaces them with %## (%20 is 'space') 
-- if the URL in the <a href=URL> tag isn't quoted (which isn't a HTML 
4.0 compliant way of dealing with odd characters, btw), it could cause 
the parsing of the URL to be botched.

I seem to remember having this problem when I first tried to implement 
the volatile patch in rev 0.27 .. haven't seen it in a while, though I'm 
not running r393 yet.
