- Source files are usually created by typing them into the computer
- using an editor, such as "vi".
- Source files in the Pascal language must end with ".p" or ".pas".
- Source files in the C language must end with ".c".
- Source files in the FORTRAN language must end with ".f".
- Note that these are not "extensions" (Unix has no concept of
- "extensions"). They simply are the last few characters of
- the filename. Filenames may be up to 255 characters long (not
- recommended) and may consist of any characters, although you'll
- have trouble with the shell if you stick, for example, "&" or
- "*" in any of your filenames; "." and "-" are fine, though.
