Thanks, Joe.
I've encountered this already the hard way. Actually, filenames with one
period (i.e. ".project") are ok, but more than one period are not (i.e.
".project.bak"). And for folders, any period at all is disallowed.
I am curious as to why this restriction exists, but for now, I'm living with
it by working around it.
Regards,
Brian.
