We're using awk (i.e. nawk) a lot lately, and wonder what the world uses
for a file extension on awk source files. ".a" is used for assemble code,
so we suppose people use ".awk", although a one-letter extension would be
nice. Is there any standard?

I don't know of any *standard* extension, but you could use .awk if you like (I think most people would, look at .sh .ksh ...). But as far as I know, .a is for *archives*, made by ar(1) (e.g. /lib/libc.a), not for assembly source: that is .s. Although there seem to be systems using .asm or .a68 or .a86 ...
