Programmer's Notepad 2 lets me map an extention *or* a filename to a syntax highlighting profile. But I agree, it's still easier to just use an existing extension. I suspect it's partly a just buildsystem tradition, and partly because it's not very common to use/need a buildscript with a name other than the standard one. ------------------------------- Not sent from an iPhone.
