The name should be Risc-OS - the Archimedes is one of the computers that run it. Risc-OS has the concept of filetype, but it is not as part of the name, but a separate property of the files. Having said that, In converting from a filename with an extension from another system, a ".ext" is often converted to a "/ext" as "." is the native directory symbol. Thus in converting between unix style file names and riscos style file names is roughly tr#/.#./# (there are some caveats).
