SYMPTOMS
When you use DriveSpace 3 to compress a drive on a computer that had OS/2
or a Beta version of Windows 95 installed, DriveSpace 3 may change short
filenames (8.3 filenames) to the Windows 95 format. The Windows 95 format
omits spaces and places "~1" at the end of the filename.
CAUSE
DriveSpace renames files to adhere to the default naming convention in
Windows 95.
RESOLUTION
You can leave the files as they are named, or you can rename them to the
original names.
