The new files tell you more information above and beyond what you
already had in the .dbf, .shp, and .shx files.  For example, the .prj
file should contain information about the projection that the
coordinates are in... That can be used when you need to merge it's
information with maps from other projections.  As to .sbn, .sbx, I
can't tell you, but you should be able to google it or look up
shapefile specs.

Thanks,
Matt
