Really?  That hasn't been my experience at all.  I developed
a website on my linux box but was forced to do some
last-minute changes on a MS Win2k box.  The piece of crap
choked on filenames with more than one dot.  The command
line in MS Win2k is distinctly less capable than the one
shipped with previous versions of MS Win NT.

Or can the GUI File Explorer in MS Win2k handle multiple
dots in filenames fine whereas only the command line chokes?

Just remember that if you have more than one dot in a
filename, you WILL have problems at the MS Win2k command
line.
