Perhaps in German you use a translation of "ending", but this does not occur (to any noticeable degree) in English. Like it or not, "extension" is standard (cross-platform) parlance in the industry. Also, it's more specific than "suffix" (which doesn't imply a '.' in there). --------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Harkless | To help prevent SPAM contamination, GNU Wget co-maintainer | please do not mention this email http://sunsite.dk/wget/ | address in Usenet posts -- thank you.
