A few simple rules can be followed to attain the correct 8.3 filename.
File systemmain File names were specified as a string of up to eight characters, followed by a period, followed by a file name extension of up to three characters ( "8.3" filename format ).
Instead, two bits in byte 0x0c of the directory entry are used to indicate that the filename should be considered as entirely or partially lowercase.
In this case, an additional filename record and directory entry is added, but both 8.3 and long file name are linked and updated together, unlike a regular hard link.
It adds command history and editing, filename completions, multiple edit buffers, multi-windowing (including multiple windows on the same edit buffer).
It does not report the current filename or line number, or even display the results of a change to the text, unless requested.
