1.8.3 FILE NAME 
A file name must follow 8.3 format (= short filenames) — at most 8 characters for 
filename, and at most three characters for filename extension. The following characters 
are unacceptable: “ * + , : ; < = > ? | [ ] 
  The mobile computer can display a filename of 1 ~ 8 characters (the null character 
not included), and filename extension will be displayed if provided. If a file name 
specified is longer than eight characters, it will be truncated to eight characters.   
  Long filenames, at most 255 characters, are allowed when using the mobile computer 
equipped with SD card as a mass storage device. For example, you may have a 
filename “123456789.txt” created from your computer. However, when the same file 
is directly accessed on the mobile computer, the filename will be truncated to 
“123456~1.txt”. 
  If a file name is not specified in ASCII characters, in order for the mobile computer to 
display it correctly, you may need to download a matching font file to the mobile 
computer first. 
  The file name is not case-sensitive.
