QKGO file name length?

[Deskin, Bob]

QKGO has gotten more sophisticated over the years. It now has detailed
terminal information. In order to add that we needed more files. This meant
that we needed a letter to indicate what they were. That's where the eighth
letter went to. On platforms other than MPE/iX, we use file extensions.
