From: Charlie Strom (NYU) <strom@brl-bmd> I have been asked to poll the user community on siuggestions as ti a naming convention for CP/M-86 object code files. Calling them .CMD (on an RCPM) will cause confusion with DBASE command files; needless to say if the RCPM is running CP/M-86, it would be disastrous to have all these .CMD files sitting there as well. One suggestion is .O86. I would appreciate your input.

About the naming of RCPM CP/M86 files: how about ".B86" (for Binary or oBject), or "86J" (this would allow looking at all object files using "DIR *.??J"). I am against ".O86", since it is easy to confuse with ".086". ~v~ Ed Howorka, erh@uvacs ~
