O.K. Ken, given that there are companies in our business that have used more
than a three char suffix. That still doesn't make it right.
Sorry, Cal, I'm just not seeing the big deal with greater than 3 character
file extensions... but maybe it's just me...
And the old 4 char 'creator codes' would run out at 456976 !

Cal,
Another consideration:
Three characters allows for approximately 17,576 combinations (26*26*26).

Pilot) of a filename, a period (a full-stop for all you commonwealth people)
and then finally a three character suffix.?
Don't you think that

You're right, go back to the DOS naming convention 8+3

I take it you don't like the .livecode suffix very much.
Quite frankly, I think there are many of us that don't either. But we've
