This is very strange...as in practice Macs have no problem with file names
like ExpeditionOrangeColor.tif

I would suggest that the person who did this had the best intentions (the
road to hell....) and was attempting to make the files backward compatible
with earlier PC OS versions, which the truncated version EXPEDIT.TIF has
been made for.

Or, it may have been done automatically ; I know you can set this preference
in the CD burning software "Toast" if you wish, and it will change all the
file names in the folder to these truncated versions automatically before
writing to a CD. 

Just a suggestion...

Regs, D
