This is not a valid OMF file error when trying to import an OMF file into a DS/SoftImage system or other NT based system.

This can happen if an OMF created on a Mac with OMF Tool or DigiTranslator contains an illegal PC character such as "/". Workaround is to rename the file so that it doesn't have any illegal spaces or characters.
