Using a file extension
Most programs assign an extension to the file name that
identifies the file as being created in the program with a
particular format. For example, Microsoft
with a .doc extension. Any file name with an extension of
".doc" is assumed to be a Microsoft
own extension is usually unwise, since the program is
unlikely to recognize a strange extension and may refuse to
handle your file correctly.
