[Mono-list] stupid extensions (dll/exe) question

[Francisco T. Martinez]

I hear you!

I remember how confuse I was when trying to find .lib files for static 
libraries and learning it was .a! 

Then, there was the time I was trying to name batch files *.cmd.  Silly 
me, expecting them to work in the UNIX shell just because they had the 
"right" extension -- at least for OS/2 and Win NT.
