The CLISP Implementation Notes (http://clisp.sourceforge.net/impnotes.html) Section 19.2.1: Pathname Components say: "... A UNIX filename is split into name and type according to the following rule: - if there is no '.' in the filename, then the name is everything, type is nil; - if there is a '.', then name is the part before and type the part after the last dot. ..." It's stupid, but the only solution seems to be to avoid filenames which have a dot at the beginning. -- Thomas Henlich
