   I use make to assemble my assembly level portion of Forth which   
   files have the known .s file-type. I also use make to build   
   extended Forths with file-types .f .fb etc. that it doesn't need   
   to know as the file parts and paths are provided in variables that   
   it happily processes.   
      
   My extensions:   
   s	assembly source (Linux convention)   
   sh	shell program (Linux convention)   
   fs	Forth system source   
           The few extensions to the assembled code to give the   
   	Forth its character (e.g turns FIG into a TOAD)   
   f	General Forth extensions (of the character type).   
   fb	Block file source   
           Main block file library   
   scr	block file   
   	Legacy block files   
   pac	pack files (sequence file conversion of a block file)   
   d	document (mime type: text/x-rsml)   
   rcd	record file (mime type: text/x-rsml, Record simple markup)   
      
      
   Note:   
   Linux provides various dot files for user to use his own   
   file-type mappings that overrides (registered) defaults.   
      
   In .vim for color syntax I have the following set   
   for Forth:  .f .fs .fb .seq .4th .fth   
   I don't use FORTRAN so no conflict but wouldn't have one if I did.   
   Magic and mime can be used in manner to bypass file extension.   
      
   In .mimi.types I only needed settings for: .fb .scr   
      
   In lessfilter only: .fb .scr   
   (This is nice, any block file of .fb or .scr is auto-converted, using   
   dd, for display as a sequence file.)   
      
   I still use the .sh for shell scripts even though it doesn't   
   distinguish between Dash and Bash (which one is being used sometimes   
   makes a difference, but I somehow get around it.)   
      
   My Forths are in constant flux (shifting sands). I haven't updated   
   color syntax in a decade. What's there or not doesn't bother me.   
      
   A thought: If a standard set of extensions become a reality,   
   just soft link all the legacy files.
