The last couple version of Frogger refuse to work on my system... but the
last version to work was really nice. From the icon it gives "Unable to
open your tool Frogger" and from the CLI it gives:

12.Work:Graphics/Anim&Movie_Players/frogger> frogger
frogger: file is not executable

What is wrong?

Also AMP runs ok from CLI, but when started from icon (no tools types) I get
this:

PowerPC Data access exception (load operation)

Great. It is nice to see cooperation amongst programmers :)
