The same would also apply for python or bash scripts for example, which also run as python $somepath/program.py . No one complained here so far. .exe is only the logical consequence when you run apps which comes from a windows enviroment and there is .exe the right suffix.
No, it is not the right suffix. It is not importand where it came from. It is importand what it is doing now and wether it follow Linux logic. If I see program.py I know it will run with Linux once I have python installed. If I see program.exe, I know that it does NOT run with Linux. Again, the extention is there for the benefit of the user. *.exe confuses people and will make them take the wrong action, like not running the program or deleting the program. For Linux no suffix is the right suffix. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
