SUMMARY
The compact discs for Microsoft Publisher 97 and Microsoft Publisher for Windows 95, version 3.0, contain files whose names do not comply with the ISO-9660 standard for CD-ROM layout. Specifically, thirty-six of the clip art files that ship with Publisher 97 and five of the clip art files that ship with Publisher version 3.0 have hyphens in their names.

The files that ship with Publisher 97 are: Bse-bal1.cgm    Bse-bal2.cgm     Juke-box.cgm Race-car.cgm    M-classc.wmf     M-country.wmf M-jazz.wmf      M-modern.wmf     M-rockrl.wmf Rec-cd.wmf      Rec-head.wmf     Rec-keyb.wmf Rec-mike.wmf    Scn-beac.wmf     Scn-deep.wmf Scn-dsrt.wmf    Scn-fall.wmf     Scn-farm.wmf Scn-frst.wmf    Scn-hwy.wmf      Scn-lake.wmf Scn-mtn.wmf     Scn-park.wmf     Scn-rivr.wmf Scn-rnch.wmf    Scn-road.wmf     Scn-snow.wmf Scn-spce.wmf    Scn-trpc.wmf     Scn-wetl.wmf Scn-wntr.wmf    T-rex.wmf        T-rex1.wmf T-rex2.wmf      T-rex3.wmf       T-rex4.wmf The files that ship with Publisher version 3.0 are: Bse-bal1.cgm Bse-bal2.cgm Howl-dog.cgm Juke-box.cgm Race-car.cgm



MORE INFORMATION
Although it is perfectly acceptable to use hyphens in file names in MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows 95, and Microsoft Windows NT, the ISO-9660 standard for compact disc layout specifies that file names on compact discs should not contain certain characters, including hyphens. ISO- 9660 defines a universal file naming convention that allows computers running MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows NT, UNIX, or the Macintosh system software to read data from a single compact disc.
