A file naming option used in some Adaptec software that allowed long file names (up to 128 characters long including spaces). The Romeo format is no longer used. Romeo discs are only compatible with Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, and Mac OS (only 31 characters are recognized).
A file naming option in Easy-CD 95 and Easy-CD Pro 95 (both obsolete and replaced by Easy CD Creator) which allows you to write files to disc with names up to 128 characters long, including spaces. This was a stopgap solution to the problem that Windows NT 3.5a did not support Joliet. Romeo did not support the Unicode character set nor associated DOS (short) filenames. Romeo filenames can be read on Windows 95 and NT 3.51 systems. Romeo discs can be read on Macintosh systems if the filenames are shorter than 31 characters. For more information.
A temporary (and now outdated) solution to the “8-dot-3” Windows filename restriction before the creation of Joliet. See Joliet.
