Written by Microsoft, Joliet is fully supported in Windows 95 and later Windows operating systems (except Windows NT prior to its version 4). In operating systems (such as Windows 3.1) that support only eight-character file names, a longer file name on the CD is truncated into an eight-character name using a tilde (~) followed by a unique number as the last characters in the name. Code enhancements can be applied to Macintosh and Linux systems that enable Joliet-conforming file names on a CD to be visible to the operating system user.
