When we added to the fstat function to accommodate extensions, we mistakenly were too stingy with string space. We did not put the dot between the file name and the extension. To advance the fstat, you must put the dot in there yourself. The following example shows what I mean.
for i = 1 to 10
a$ = sub(fstat(a$,dir='tm0',excp=done),35,11)
b$ = sub(a$,9,3)
if strip(b$) ne '' a$ = strip(sub(a$,1,8)) + '.' + b$
print a$
next i
Try adding the above logic to your program.
