Have you tried going to the Finder under the Advanced tab and checking the option to "Show all file extensions"?
Oops, I should of said, to the Finder > Preferences, not just the Fnder. This is for OS X, not OS 9.

i tried macnames and it doesnt add the extensions. it seems to only be changing illegal characters. Im not sure im using the application right either. Im going to try the ohther apps that were suggested.
one question about macnames.. there is a menu that allows you to pick what type of server you are using----you have the option of microsoft FSM, cYAN Software macserverIP, or intergraph extremzip - which one would I use????
