Linux filesystem from DOS?

["Jones, David A \(CAP, ITS, US\)" <David.Jones@gecits.ge.com>]

Hi Team-

I was wondering if anyone has a method of writing Linux / Un*x filenames
from DOS apps. You know- where we have more than 1 "period" in the
filename like xxxxx.yyy.zz? I have to move some files back & forth, but
DOS changes the name to xxxxx-yyy.zz so when I try to use gunzip, etc,
I get an error saying the file has been modified or corrupted. I tried
renaming the file back to xxxxx.yyy.zz before un-tarring or
uncompressing but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks for your
time.
