I strongly suspected that go32 programs wouldn't be able to accomplish this
(finding files with multiple periods in their names), but I know for a fact
that win32 programs can. Now, I've only tested it on NT but if you do
Start/Find/Files and search for *.*.* you will indeed find all files that
have two periods in them. I just don't know M$'s secret...

I've even tried searched the Win32.hlp file for clues, but can't find
anything their either.
