Filenames

A Web 68 file is expected to have a file extension of .w68. Included Web 68 files may have any extension or even no extension. However, we recommend you keep to some kind of naming system so that files intended for inclusion can be recognised as such without glancing at their contents. The program development system used by the author uses the .w extension to mean a Web 68 file which should be included.

The output files from weav will have a file extension of .html and the output file from tang will have a file extension of .a68. The latter is an intermediate file which should be deleted as soon as it has been processed successfully by the Algol 68 compiler. The Web 68 file contains the definitive source code of the program.
