Hello Marshall , Um quite contrare DOS was based on CPM which in turn was based on RT-11 . There was even a BIG law suit against M$ about that one which CPM lost (IIRC) . Hth, JimL On Thu, 31 Aug 2000, Thomas Marshall Eubanks wrote:

In DOS, make.exe is made up of the filename "make", and the extension "exe". In Unix and MacOS, "make.exe" represents a filename "make.exe". The concept of the file extension doesn't exist as it does in DOS. Now that I think about it, though, VMS has file extensions, doesn't it? (Been a while since I last used VMS.) I don't know if the extensions are treated the way DOS and Windows treats extensions, though.In VMS (whihc is what DOS is based on AFAIK) the file name is name.ext;N (where N is the version number, which is incremented each time you save the file). Made for very easy simple minded configuration control, so that foo.exe;23 is the 23rd executable of the program foo.c
