Naming a DOS File File Manager can create DOS documents; these documents must have a DOS file name. If you need to use a DOS name, the application you're using will tell you. However, most documents use Ensemble document names, which are more flexible. DOS: Disk Operating System If you plan to use any of your documents on a computer that uses DOS, you will want to create a name that DOS will recognize. DOS files can be up to eight characters long, followed by an optional period and three more characters. The optional three characters following a DOS file name are called the extension, which usually indicates the type of data the file contains. A DOS text file, such as one created with Text File Editor, should be given a .TXT extension to be consistent with other DOS files of the same type. DOS file names can only contain the letters A through Z, the numbers 0 through 9, and only the following specialcharacters: underscore dollar sign exclamation point percentage sign hyphen parentheses apostrophe ____ caret ^ $ tilde ~ ! number sign # % ampersand & - braces { } ( ) at sign @ ' grave accent ' No other special characters are permitted. DOS names cannot contain spaces, commas, backslashes, asterisks, question marks, or periods (except the period following the first eight characters). The letters are always converted to upper case.
