You should not be seeing this.  The Joliet file name extension exists to 
extend the character set and the name lengths.  If you are still getting 
8.3 (eight character name, three character file extension) file name 
limits, then you either did not include Joliet support or, as I mentioned, 
the system in question does not support the Joliet extension.  I was under 
the impression that it was introduced in Windows 95b (but I may be 
incorrect in this), so I would double-check the former.
