Dear All,

I have been downloading zip files for Linux.  I put them in src
directory and unzip them.  When I unzip them they turn into binary
files, and I can't execute them.  I'am wondering what is wrong with
this?  What am I doing wrong?  Also,  I don't understand this Make file
thing.  Where do I get Modules and what are they for?

Please feel free to contact me at my email address if you have a
solution to my dilemas.

Thanx
