Right, the programming that displays the files on the "PCast" server
that is built-into the "TeraStation" apparently only displays files
with expected extensions (in fact it removes the extensions for the
display, somewhat annoying for me as I often use it to try displaying
odd files, with the same name, encoded to different formats [thus
often different extensions].)
