I think matters are not quite what they seem. DOS uses filename
format of "8.3" with restrictions on characters. VMS does not follow these
rules. Thus MS-DOS Kermit converts incoming filenames to DOS format. Extra
dots in the name, for example, trigger such conversion. Please look very
carefully at the VMS filenames. I'll bet they look like a.file1.txt and
a.file2.txt and so on.
