- Yes, this is a normal assumption. But there's another possibility:
- The AC/Basic compiler appends a .run to its compiled binaries. If
- this file is not executable (hmm, did you check the "e" protection
- bit from Shell with List, and set it with Protect?) and is really
- such a compiled Basic program, then you need other support files
- like the runtime library files for AC/Basic and perhaps one or the
- other .bmap file.
