Hmm. I see your point.
But when I go to Visual Studio and add the Masked Edit control to a project, it refers to msmask32.ocx.
When I searched MSDN for msmask.ocx, the only hits I got were referring to Foxpro, which was the basis for my original response. But, when I just now dug a little deeper into the results I discovered my search only turned up references to msmask32.ocx.
I checked all of the MS knowledge base and there is no reference at all to msmask.ocx - so now I'm not sure the OP had the filename right.
