The official extension known to a linux system (make) are:
.out .a .ln .o .c .cc .C .cpp .p .f .F .m .r .y .l .ym .yl .s .S .mod
.sym .def .h .info .dvi .tex .texinfo .texi .txinfo .w .ch .web .sh
.elc .el .out .a .ln .o .c .cc .C .cpp .p .f .F .m .r .y .l .ym .yl .s
.S .mod .sym .def .h .info .dvi .tex .texinfo .texi .txinfo .w .ch
.web .sh .elc .el
There is no extension for Forth files. Moreover .f .F have been taken
for FORTRAN.
Note that there is no extension for Python. Apparently if you have given
up compiling to executables, you don't register with make. All the same
there is a de facto extension for Python that is py and half-compiled .pyc.
For Forth we've seen: .f .F .frt .FRT .fth .4th .fs
Are there more?
I'd like to see an official extension. This would help with uniformization
of the Forth language and finding forth sources on the web.
For example build in rules to go from a source
to an executable, or syntax coloring in editors.
The gforth authors have the most influence in GNU linux. Unfortunately
they seem to use the .f suffix exclusively. Would they push for an
official extension?
gforth also uses .fs for non forth files, scripts, while others use it
for plain Forth files.

Don't praise the day before the evening. One swallow doesn't make spring.
You must not say "hey" before you have crossed the bridge. Don't sell the
hide of the bear until you shot it. Better one bird in the hand than ten in
the air. First gain is a cat purring. - the Wise from Antrim -
