English Dictionary: 83 by the DICT Development Group
2 results for 83
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
83
adj
  1. being three more than eighty [syn: eighty-three, 83, lxxxiii]
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   8.3
  
      A common shorthand for the
      limits on filename length imposed by the {file system} used by
      {MS-DOS} and {Microsoft Windows} - at most eight characters,
      followed by a ".", followed by a {filename extension} of at
      most three characters.
  
      {Windows 95} supports long filenames by using multiple
      directory entries per file.   The extra entries are hidden.   It
      also automatically derives an 8.3 name for each file for
      {backward compatibility} so that older versions of DOS can
      still access the file.
