Do you mean that the MS-DOS name ends with ~1 (or other number)?
If so, it's because DOS can't handle 32-bit filenames. instead, it relies on an old naming convention known as 8.3. This limits files to 8 characters with a 3 character extension.
e.g.
Technical Document.doc would appear as techni~1.doc.
I hope this helps!
