I'm in favour. The extension indicates file type, and gives guidance on the tool that can read it. Though .patch is stored in text it's more than that (c.f. .html) - the text inside it has meaning beyond just the text. To me, .txt would implies that the file format is in human-language format (i.e. words, sentences, and paragraphs). Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIEE andyparkins@gmail.com
