Careful file naming can save time. Always choose names which provide a clue to the file's contents. If you are working with a series of related files, use a number somewhere in the name to indicate which version you have created. This applies only to the filename parameter; most of the file extension parameters you will be using are predetermined (or reserved by DOS for certain types of file). Example: - WORLD.DAT
- An ATLAS*GRAPHICS file containing data for a world map. The DAT extension is required by ATLAS*GRAPHICS.
- BRAZIL.BNB
- A boundary file of Brazil in binary form.
- BRIT1.DAT
- BRIT2.DAT
- BRIT3.DAT
- Three versions of a data file for a map of Britain.
