[Klug-general] Now here's a funny thing.

[Michael E. Rentell]

Well that's the first thing that went through my mind and I've done the 
second suggestion in konqueror and it didn't work so I've then done the 
first suggestion in a konsole and that doesn't work either. The 
properties of the file still show me as the user with read/write 
permissions and the execute box is ticked. In a konsole it shows up as  
- rws rwx r-x 1

When I try to run it with ./filename.exe it says 'cannot execute binary 
file'

Something funny going on here. Is there any particularly mono dependency 
I should have to execute a .exe file? Never seen that in Linux before, I 
always thought .exe was strictly something from the realm of the Boy God.
