Re: Interpretation of extensions different from Unix/Linux?

I have an application that builds mp3 playlists. I specify the
root directory of the mp3 file tree on the command line, the Ada code
searches within that directory for mp3 files to add to a playlist.

I said "typically". A command-line application for maintenance of
playlists, which does not support file browsing by is by no means typical.

"Unusual" for one person is "typical" for another.

I have an Ada system that runs a TV station. There are lots of places
where the user uses a GUI to indicate a show, and the program needs to
scan a directory to find its episodes, or he indicates a show episode
and the system needs to build a playlist by scanning a directory to find
the video files, or the user loads a DVD and the system needs to scan
its directory to find the video files. The user sees "show", "episode",
"DVD" as his abstractions - he doesn't see directories or files.
