- All filename extension corrections and contributions are most welcome!
-
- Two thirds of the extensions are checked very carefully (and slow) from
- the original manuals of the various programs, thanx to the manual room
- of the Oulu university Computer Center. The rest originate from various
- computer magazine reviews and ads, internet news and your feedback.
-
- As far as I'm concerned this collection can be freely used in any kind
- of projects as long as the origin is mentioned and appropriate credit is
- given. In real life this means you'll have to mention Filex, where to
- get it (if not included) and send me a free fully functional copy of the
- book or the program. Yes, it's a hard bargain: tanstaafl =-)
-
- I have a dream that programmers would check out the extension list
- before giving names to their program files. As you can see, there're
- already lots of general used and understood extentions (which is a GOOD
- thing), but also several quite severe conflicts (which is a BAD thing).
-
- The following individuals have been most helpful, first when I collected
- the original Extension List and later updating it. There are more, but
- unfortunately I started to keep this credits list only after releasing
- Filex 1.2, which btw was the third public release of the Extensio List:
-
- - The First Version for file.btm ---------------------------------------
- The major part of list was created when I spent hours and days and weeks
- in Computer Center's Manual Room. Good ventilation, I caught cold :)
-
- - The Second Version before releasing Filex 1.0 ------------------------
- Richard Breuer helped to plan this program, more or less aware of it
- Volker Schardin Volker's Extension List - Version: 25.02.93
-
- - The Credits since Filex 1.2 ------------------------------------------
- Tran Minh general
- Duane A. Paulson 1st Reader,ILink,Signature
- Piotr Karocki LogoScript,Scream Tracker,MS Publisher,
- lots of general
- Darrel R. Hankerson general
- Volker Schardin Volker's Extension List - Version: 26.06.93
- Art Hutchison Lahey Blackbeard Fortran
-
- Well, other projects had distracted my attention away from Filex and the
- version 1.3 was almost the last. Fortunately Mr. Robert Hood send me a
- most kind letter (with envelope and all!) and thus I desided to make an
- update. Thank you!
-
- Version 1.5 will be released, when the database grows to 1700 extensions
- and the size gets over 64k == the curse of DOS memory management.
