Some editors (early versions of WinEdit) expect the filename in Microsoft message format (8.3 format). That means the filename can have up to eight characters and no more than a three-character extension. Longer filenames are possible when you use Win95 or WinNT. This option truncates the filename to the 8.3 format.
