Joliet is MS's method of encoding Unicode long file names in tandem with the short names so that you can do long-name-capable CDROM's on Windows 95 and NT. The Joliet specification is available in the developer area of the MS FTP site, both as a Word document and as an RTF. It is basically compatible, with one real relaxation of the ISO9660 specification to allow them to encode the fact of a Unicode namespace in the last session of a CD (this may be the first session, if there are no other sessions). See the spec for more details. I can probably do the search and post the URL if you can't figure out how to work MS's search engine, or if you can find it in devel on their ftp server by just looking for it in the index file at the top level directory.
