18 !!DESCRIPTION

20
21 The ''gnome-exe-handler'' program is invoked by
22 applications that try to launch executables in Unix but do
23 not have the execution permission bit set. The are
24 classified as ELF or A.OUT executables by the MIME
25 system.

28 ''gnome-exe-handler'' Would let the user double click on
29 an application and if the user confirms the action, change
30 the permissions automatically for him and then launch the
31 application. This is particulary useful when downloading
32 software from the network, as Unix will not transfer the
33 execution permissions. This simplifies the number of steps
34 that a novice user has to take to run software from the
35 net.
