I guess some vyry old tools. I mostly work with files in some file manager (DN, VC, NC, M602, MM...) and with packers (RAR, ZIP, ARJ) and really didn't have any problem. Even when burning CDs the check may report violations against ISO but was silent to 8.3 dirs...

I know, e.g. DJGPP distro can be unpacked in pure DOS and cutting the filenames and it works. But for my own SW and source files I will always use 8.3 :)
