- I'm not a Unix expert, but since I do sort of know how to use
- netnews I was asked to post this question by someone else here in
- the company. Any help you can provide would be most appreciated!
-
- Is there a document or file available which lists "all" of the
- filename extension conventions used on Unix systems? I know, for
- example, that on MS-DOS systems that ".EXE", ".COM", ".BAT", etc.,
- imply certain characteristics for a file, and that major
- applications have their own conventions as well. Has anyone
- collected a list of similar conventions for major Unix applications
- and for Unix itself?
-
- If you could send the list to me via email I would appreciate it
- very much, as I have access to ftp only with some difficulty.
-
- Thanks!
