>$gcc -Wall bicycles.c -o bicycles


The one thing I think MSDOS and CPM (and I think RT-11 too) got right
is to use an extension for binary executables. When I do stuff like
this, I do:

gcc -Wall bicycles.c -o bicycles.exb

.exb stands for Executable Binary.

The only time I omit the extension is when I plan to use the executable
a lot, and usually in pipelines.

But of course I'm probably the only one who thinks this way.
