Naming Files and Directories
The rules for naming files and directories are as follows:
• File names and directory names must start with an alphabetical character. The
remaining characters must be alphanumeric, and may also include the
underscore (_) character. Spaces are not allowed.
• DOS directory and file names can consist of one to eight characters.
• You can specify a directory or file name in upper- or lowercase letters;
however, in directory listings and other displays, DOS shows all directory and
file names in uppercase.
• File extensions are optional, and must be preceded by a dot. They can be from
one to three characters.
Also, we recommend that you use the following conventions when naming files so
that you can distinguish files by type:
•Use the .exe
file extension for software images for the FRE and other modules
(BLN, BLN-2, BCN, AFN, AN, ANH, ARN, and ASN). The default software
images are bn.exe, afn.exe, an.exe, arn.exe, asn.exe, and s5000.exe.
•Use the .out file extension for software images for the ACE modules (FN, LN,
CN, and ALN). The default software image is ace.out.
• Use the .cfg
file extension for alternate configuration files. The default
configuration file is config
.
• Use the .al file extension for alias files.
• Use the .log file extension for log files.
• Use the .bat file extension for script files.
