You should *NOT* have files starting with the period character.
This is bad under any UNIX file system, this is also bad under the
Macintosh file system.
This will be just as bad under Mac OS X, which is UNIX based, and you
won't be able to patch.
Avoid it.
Norton even alerts you that you have files starting with he period, as
being bad.
There is absolutely *NO* reason to have files starting with the period.
