At least where I'm sitting, "executables" are sometimes compiled, sometimes perl scripts, sometimes shell scripts...you get the idea. I use the "file" command to tell me what's what. And hey...file uses magic...really. The file that stores the heuristics that it uses for guessing is /etc/magic. :) thor `The only easy day was yesterday`	[reply]
