It's even
more general than that. Many folks have fallen into the
Microsoft (FAT) limitation that a file is [3-letter extension format]
Wait, you mean the limitation that is present on RSTS/E, RT-11,
RSX-11, TOPS-10, TOPS-20 (and probably a bunch more DEC OSes) and
CP/M?
In other words: this mental model of a 3-letter file extension was
around LONG before Microsoft.
