Hi Marty,
There are no official lists of file extensions. You are free to use
whatever you want. The creator type registration at Apple is a relic
from the past and you're free to ignore it, but I still think it is a
good thing to register your new creator types there and to adhere to it.
I often use 4-character file extensions to reduce the probability that
the file extension is widely used by a different application already.
Whatever 3-char combination you choose, someone has probably already
used it.

I'm working on an application (Mac only at the moment) and was
wondering about file name extensions. I poked around and found web
sites that list file name extensions, but is there someplace
"official" to register or search? Or am I free to use whatever I
want? I registered a creator code with Apple, but don't know what to
do from there.
Thanks,
Marty Knapp
