A filing system is a program that can make sense of the file organization
on a disk. For example, Amigas use FastFileSystem which uses
volumes/directorys/filenames of upto 30 characters long and stores other
information such as date/time, size and filenote.
Most Amiga CDs use ISO9660 and Rockridges extensions for its long filenames
used on most platforms incl. PC and Unix.

Could be WB 3.1`s CDFileSystem, Asim`s AsimCDFS or CacheCDFS which is
supplied with OS3.5 and IDEFix.

Some filesystems support more than one filesystem and may include support
for HFS (Mac CDs) and Joliet (PC long filenames).
