Encode Hackers,

  I am now in the middle of linting filenames.  I have found check83.pl
terribly obsolete.

perl ../perl/Porting/check83.pl

  Yields nothing but filenames like "7bit-greek.enc" is an obvious
violation.

The rule is that withing each directory the file name must be unique
if truncated to 8.3 - not that all file names must be 8.3
I am fairly sure that is what the check83.pl polices.
