“8.3“ File Naming Limit
Although the 8-dot-3 character limit
for filenames no longer exists in Windows, it is definitely a part of
heritage on DOS platforms and references to it are still present. For
example, some commands will still display two name columns in its directory
listings – the first column, a shorter name that Windows has made
up, like “Progra~1,” to make the user’s file name look
like one of these 8.3 format filenames, and the last column, the original
long name for the file or folder, like “Program Files”. This
limitation is no longer a consideration with the versions of Windows
covered by the A+ exam, as they all support long file names (“LFNs”).
