This topic was discussed at the Comet meeting last summer. Here's what I have in the notes:
"Discussed adding a filename extension to Comet data files. Currently sequential files and the data portion of keyed files do not have a file extension. We finally decided this would have to be an optional feature. The file server could automatically rename the file the first time it was opened and retain the original create/update dates. But there would be a problem for any program which refers to the file by its full pathname (ie CopyFile, DOS calls, etc). Also did not decide on an extension. All our first choices were already in use by many vendors."
