- I'm currently running linux .95. Several times now, I've FTP'd
- something, tar'd it to floppy, and then untar'd from linux,
- and tried to execute what I've untar'd. I get the message,
- "Cannot execute binary file" The directory listing for the file
- says that it's executable, and it's docs say it's executable.
- I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing. Can anyone help?
-
- Thanks
- Mark
