Why do file names on the CD-ROM appear in upper-case and end in ;*?
Some UNIX variants that support mounting CD-ROM file systems do not support name translation on the files (HP-UX, for example). Thus, the file names appear in the native ISO-9660 format, which includes version information in the name. On these operating systems, you must specify the names exactly as they appear in an ls listing, which may involve using quotation marks when the names contain special characters.
