!!NAME


gnome-exe-handler - GNOME executable Mime type Handler.
!!SYNOPSIS


__gnome-exe-handler file1 file2...__
!!DESCRIPTION


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


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