- I don't have much real-world experience with MS-DOS. I'm interested in
- your informed opinions on what MS-DOS suffixes (.TXT, etc) should correspond
- by default to various GS/OS filetype/auxiliary type combinations.
-
- Here's one possible list of default translations:
-
- suffix ftype auxtype
- .TXT $04 $0000 text file
- .BAT $04 $0000 batch file
- .BIN $06 $0000 binary file
- .ASC $04 $0000 ASCII text file
- .C $04 $0000 C language source code
- .H $04 $0000 C header file
- .PAS $04 $0000 Pascal language source code
- .ASM $04 $0000 assembly language source code
- .LST $04 $0000 listing file
- .COB $04 $0000 COBOL language source code
- .FOR $04 $0000 FORTRAN language source code
- .DOC $04 $0000 documentation file
- .SRC $04 $0000 source code file
- .GIF $C0 $8006 GIF file
-
- Reasonable? ($04 is Text and $06 is Binary.)
