Try to avoid spaces and punctuation characters (especially
things like '&', '*', '/', '\' and '?') in the filenames, as they make
problems on different computer systems. Just plain letters, and either
a '-' or a '_' in place of spaces works well.

Also, please don't use your life history as a file name! I agree that
8.3 is a silly and unreasonable restriction but I recently ran into a
problem with a 157 character file name! No problem on OS/2 but when I
backed up the thing to a CD, it appears that the Jolliet protocall
doesn't handle more than 64 character filenames. Wouldn't be a problem
for anything reasonable.
