Can anyone tell me why I am getting
strange 8.3 file names like the ones shown below
and what if anything I can do to fix the problem?

They "work" in the sense that if I type in

dir PRO'VRIK       

I get a (similarly strange) listing of the "Program Files"
directory, but the normal 8.3 form of "Program Files"
is PROGRA~1.

Thank you.
