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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Pseudofiles have a different naming convention from disk files:
 
        ■ The pseudofile name appears in angle brackets (<>); for
          example, '<Pseudo>'.
 
        ■ There need not be a base and extension, and the name can be
          longer than 11 characters. For example, <..A PseudoFile?> is
          an acceptable pseudofile name.
 
        ■ Pseudofile names are case insensitive. For example,
          <PSEUDO> is the same as <pseudo>.
 
        ■ A pseudofile name can be followed by a title, which appears
          in the window title instead of the pseudofile name.
 
          For example, if you create a pseudofile with the full name
          <temp>Scratch Workspace, the title displayed at the top of
          the window is Scratch Workspace.
 
     A pseudofile cannot be saved to disk under its own name.
