File types

The standard file-extensions used in WordSmith are

.cnc        concordance file

.lst                word list

.mut        mutual information list

.dcl                detailed consistency list

.tokens        word list index file

.kws        key words file

.kdb        key word database file

.ali                aligner list

WordSmith does not affect your Windows Registry, unlike most other programs. The reason is because this can make a system slow down and become unstable, and it also means that to remove WordSmith you can simply delete the folder it is in.

In the Controller's General settings, or on installing, however, you can if you wish associate the current file-types with WordSmith in the Registry. The advantage of this is that Windows should know what Tool to open your data files with.
