Why file extension is only 3 char long?
The old "eight-dot-three" file naming scheme comes from early operating systems (DOS, I think). This refers to an eight character file name, a period to separate it, and a three character file extension. The only reason for this convention was because of limitations of computer hardware and software back then.All modern operating systems will allow you to specify very long file names and extensions.

Why exactly three letters in a file extension?
An old convention stemming from MS-DOS ca. 1983, which only allowed 8+3 characters in file names - 8 in the name and 3 for the extension. Since MS-DOS used the file extension to look up which program could open it, and there were many programs, developers would commonly use all three characters in their extensions.Neither Unix/Linux nor Mac had these requirements, but the convention is still with us.
