Interesting. On most of my Unix boxes, I can make a text file executable by simply changing the permissions. I can make a no extension file opened by a certain program by simply changing an environment variable. Unix gives you all the flexibility and options you could ever want or need, and not have to rely on hard and fast file extensions like a Microsoft product.
