Yes and yes. File Manager doesn't know what to make of an
extensionless file name, but that's OK. For years I created comma
delimited files as ".cdf". Then one day I installed IE 4, and they
magically became "Channel Definition Files".
This is good. It means that while Ionesco is dead, his spirit
lives on.

No prob. As long as you don't expect extreme conformance out
of the c runtime lib, you'll do fine.
