Hi Austin,

The file type (file extension) such as .txt or .ada, etc., is just to specify the content of the file.  Ada files to be processed by a compiler -- or any language files for that matter (that I am aware of) -- are really just text files.  The .ada, .ads, .adb, ..., just identify what the content of the file is and, therefore, what program to use as the *default* program to open them.  Nothing keeps you from opening a .ada file with a text editor like Notepad.
