<li>Filenames: Because Survex is used on different sorts of computer, it is
best to use filenames which won't get changed when the files are moved
between systems. On a PC this means using xxxxxxxx.SVX, where "xxxxxxxx" is a
name of letters, numbers and maybe the underscore character, with a maximum
length of eight. On an Acorn machine, the equivalent filename is
"xxxxxxxx/SVX", and should have a filetype of "Text". Note that this must be
kept in an image filing system such as SparkFS (.ZIP), X-files or DOSFS
(which is most logical) to avoid truncation. I know Windows lets you have
long meaningful names, but these tend to get lost on DOS floppies, or when
moved to other machines. For directories (=folders), use a maximum of eight
characters with no extension.-->
