http://www.post-issue.org/patent/13/prior_art/list An operating system provides a common name space for both long filenames and short filenames. In this common namespace, a long filename and a short filename are provided for each file. Each file has a short filename directory entry and may have at least one long filename directory entry associated with it. The number of long filename directory entries that are associated with a file depends on the number of characters in the long filename of the file. The long filename directory entries are configured to minimize compatibility problems with existing installed program bases. en-us (b) Common name space for long and short filenames Title: ROCK RIDGE INTERCHANGE PROTOCOL VERSION 1<br/>Description: The purpose of the "NM" System Use Field is to store the content of an Alternate Name to support POSIX-style or other names. ...
