Joliet is an extension of the ISO 9660
standard, which allows long
filenames and other modern features. It is used in newer
CD or DVD-ROMs, and for
operating systems, such as Windows NT and
Windows 95 and higher. Because the Joliet
specification is ISO 9660 compliant, disks recorded according to the Joliet
specification may continue to interchange data with
non-Joliet systems.
