Description
TDSTRP32 can't handle files with non-standard extensions.  It will append a .EXE to any filename that doesn't have a .DLL or .EXE extension.
Steps to Reproduce:
1)  Build the \bc5\examples\windows\dlldemo example as a 32-bit app with debug info
2)  Copy BITMAP.DLL to BITMAP.DLG
3)  TDSTRP32 -s BITMAP.DLG, and you'll get the error message:
"Can't open file:  BITMAP.DLG.EXE"

TDSTP32 should look for the file's format, not the extension.  As long as the file has the PE format, it should be able to attempt to strip the debug info from it.
Workarounds
Temporarily rename the file to have an EXE or DLL extension.
