I use Davex, >and it allows me to identify file types with letters. You know, BAS, >AWP, BIN, and so forth... I propose that $E0 (Shrink It shrunk files) >be designated with the letters SRK. Actually, ShrinkIt does not own the whole filetype. Only filetype $E0 with auxtype $8002 are owned by ShrinkIt. Currently (Davex 1.23), there is no way to assign different 3-letter combinations to different auxiliary types, so you have to choose something for the whole filetype. I use "LBR" for Library file, and I think ACU uses it, too (ACU owns auxtype $8001). I think SHK is supposed to be the standard suffix for NuFX files, so that would make sense for filetype $E0 if you are only dealing with ShrinkIt and not ACU or other things that generate $E0 files. Remind me to update the 'what' command one of these days to know about all the newly-defined filetypes in the File Type Notes. >David Oberhart ><FFDDO@ALASKA> >CIS 72047,1004 --David A.
