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 sys‐
       tem.

       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.

AUTHOR
       gnome-exe-handler was written by Miguel de Icaza (miguel@gnu.org)
