DLL = Dynamic Link Library
INI = Initialization File
BAT = batch file
EXE = executable file
COM = Command file

etc, etc......

The limiting factor in the days when these names were chosen was three
characters after the period in the file name. Oh how much fun it was to
make any file with only eight characters bear any resemblance to what it
was supposed to be :-)

Oh how much fun it is to be old......
