Weird Table Name in Oracle 7.3.4

One of our users has managed to create a table name as follows:



  q198.jan.98



This is how it shows when querying dba_tables.  Note that it is in lower
case and contains periods.



How was the user able to do this?  I am not able to describe it in
SQL*Plus or even attempt to remove the offending table.  I am thinking
of directly changing the data in the data dictionary so that I can
remove this table but would rather not.



Steve.
