No, it would be a ".o" file in Unix/Linux.   The .o files are the objects
that are linked together to make a program.   "a.out" is the default
filename of a program if you don't specify a filename...  Unless You're
talking about the AOUT object format, which is not used much anymore in
favor of ELF.

Aside from that, I agree with you.  Nice post!   You didn't discuss
activation groups, however..   Maybe that was on purpose! :)
