BC2000 text file name

2008-05-18 by rpcfender

Hi all,

I was going to email Mark about this, but I thought that I would ask
the group first.

When I wrote my BCL editor I gave the text files the ".bc2" extension.
This enabled me to distinguish BC files from normal text files and
doesn't fill up the OpenFile or SaveFile dialogs with other non BC files.

Mark decided that he would name them ".txt" files which means that any
old text editor would be able to pick them up which makes life very easy. 

I can see the merit in both views, but I suspect that there may be
some (perhaps only me) that would like to take the files from Mark's
editor into my editor (the one I am use to) without stuffing around
with file extensions (the file list is filtered in the OpenFile dialog
i both editors) . So I would like to standardise on one or the other.

What is the general view, .bc2 or .txt or something else.

I'm happy to change my editor - Mark, of course, doesn't have to
change his editor.

The other this is I have a template set up n PSPad for editing the BC
files and it needs to have an extension other than txt.

Mainly my problem, I know, but I would like to hear if it has any
effect on anyone else. 

All the best

Royce
