DOS question

[24giovanni]

Do short filenames (8.3) need to be specified by the user if they are needed for backward compatibility? Thanks for any help.

No you just have to abide by the rules when naming the file. If it already fits within the 8.3 format all will be fine when you look at the file in DOS. It's only truncated if the file is outside the 8.3 format.

Thank you.
