I don't think short names of plugins come from 8.3, there is different

Are there any systems in common, current use for
which this causes problems? (Why would people be using Vim in DOS

Why would people be using Windows on servers?
But there is.
And there is some privative DOS applications with no

Are you talking about *file* motpat.vim ?
If you are talking about the file, then doing
head motpat.vim
will show you all information you need, including description,

Out of curiosity, is there something in the build scripts that works
around the issue? Or is it handled at runtime? Or do 8-character-limit

Andy Wokula just uploaded what seems like a useful plugin called
