I understand the nonexecutability of WinDblOwS .exe's on Linux, but I have a related question: some folks distribute (e.g. on the WWW), downloadable "stuff" which is theoretically NOT an WinDblOwS executable, but instead some kind of compressed archive, which nevertheless has an .exe extension, which I presume means that it is a self-extracting archive IFF you have WinDblOwS to execute it on... and the question is: is there any way to retrieve the contents running Linux, i.e. is there a Linux program that knows how to extract the archive's contents, ignoring the self-extracting wrapper? -- Copyright 2004 Angela Kahealani.
