Please note: Somehow I posted this question twice by mistake, right in a row. I did not mean to do this, and I apologize. John
Hi Everyone,
I am a complete newbie with Linux and DSL. However, I just got DSL up and running from CD, with the help of the good people on this forum.
I have been wanting to try a UNIX program shown at this link http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~rmsl/Angeles_html/research/USyCaMs.html
This is a free 481 KB file from McGill University. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to run this program with DSL ?
One thing I don't understand is that the site says the file is a UNIX executable, but when I download it, the file has a .txt extension. Do I need to change the extension to .exe or something else after downloading ?
If the file does work, I am guessing I Will have to burn it on the DSL CD, perhaps in a special directory, and then try to open the program with DSL.
The site says you can contact them for more information and even other platforms, but I could not determine exactly who to contact, or by what email address.
I would appreciate any help or feedback on running this program with DSL.
Thanks for your help. John
