I recently purchased a cd-rom unit and have found that there are more
extentions, then I ever imagined.  I run the unit through windows
quite a bit of the time, and would like to know more about the
extentions which windows uses.
Could anyone please help me to figure out the meanings of all of the

different dos extentions that are used.  I quickly become confused
with all of the different extentions, such as .gif, .bat., .zap, .wav,
.pic, and so forth.  If anyone is able to provide me with some insight
as to the meaning of the different extentions, as well as how they are
compatible, and what can be done to make two different file types
compatible, I would appreciate it.  If anyone knows of a book that has
a good explaination of these, then I owuld appreciate knowing its
name and author and where I could aquire it.


In need of enlightenment!!!!!
