URGENT!!: browsing using wildcards

[Orndorff, Mark]

You may be right, but it seems to work against the NT servers already in
production.

I believe that the first period in a filename is considered by Windows to be
the beginning of the three-letter extension when in a DOS environment.

Please...
Any help on this issue is GREATLY appreciated.

We have a samba server hosting files with underscores in the names. When we
try to issue a dir command using wildcards and under scores no results are
returned even though matching files exist.

This seems to have to do more with "." and wildcards than underscores.

A file named "3084.40_0..tif"
is matched by "dir *.*_0..tif"
but not by "dir *_0..tif"

Any solutions?
