Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Filename
 
The name of a file stored on a disk. Valid
filenames are from one to eight characters long,
made up of any combination of letters or numbers,
and can be followed by an extension (a period and
one to three characters). Unless you specify
otherwise, Word files are stored with a .DOC
extension. See also: Extension.
