VFAT and stuff like that actually provided alternate names like PROGRA~1

Yes, I was doing code to quickly read FAT folders (on a micro controller) and got to the bit about filenames more than 8.3. I decided my life was too short (and processing time) to go and sort out what the "real" file name is. Enforced 8.3 as a requirement!
