If it's a PERL script, then you should be able to open it up in your favorite text editor and look at it. If it's a bunch of weird symbols and "garbage" it's probably a binary. Why anyone would name a binary for a Linux box .exe I have no clue. Most PERL scripts would be .pl. If the file is executable you can run it by prepending a ./ to the file name, i.e. ./mapivi072_Linux.exe Just found the project on Sourceforge and you got the Linux binary, the the PERL part. I just did a cursory look. To make the file executable "chmod +x mapivi072_Linux.exe" if it isn't execuable. Check with ls -l mapivi072_Linux.exe. Patrick
