Extra "." (dot) in filename before the dot3 file extension....

Hello,

I'm concerned about potential problems as a result of working with files
that have an additional "dot" in the file name; additional to the dot3 file
extension.

I will be working primarily with file types from Adobe Acrobat and MS Office
Suite within the Windows XP operating system, and with email and FTP
internet protocols; however, external clients and future needs may indicate
other applications for these files...

Can anyone inform me of potetial issues with the use of "." (dot) in file
naming?

Thanks in advance,

Raymond
