You're right, I spoke incorrectly. Bit busy at work and I blurted that out mistakenly.
Instead, I'll revise my comment to 'man elf'.
Then point me to the section of this manual page that says something about file naming.
And even if it did it would be completely irrelevant because we are talking about PE files not ELF.
And PE is used on 32 and 64 bit Windows. So what you're saying is, we're running a 32 or 64 bit Windows binary executable. Is that what is being said now? My point remains (from the other trail of this thread) that a windows binary (which a PE would be, btw) has no place on Linux, for more reasons than because I hate MS (which I do, quite admittedly).
And btw. all Java executables are named *.class and all YaST script files *.ycp --- do you want them to be renamed as well?
.class is interpreted by the java vm, and ycp is handled by yast - so they aren't exactly the same type of situation. Unless you're saying its interpreted. So is Zen a compiled binary, or is it still interpreted by Mono? If its a compiled binary, then I still don't get wtf Mono is needed for. If its being interpreted, wtf is interpreted code doing in a core application? Please excuse my laziness in not looking more closely at the files myself, I have a very hectic week, and my weekend (while spent out of the office) was all but useless as far as rest and hobbies go.
