I don't see any smilies in your message, so I'm going to assume you're not actually joking, right? The .exe extension on executable files is a DOS-ism carried over into M$-Windows. UNIX-like systems don't put suffixes on executable files to indicate they're executable - that's what the execute permissions on the files are for. Different types of executable files are differentiated by their contents, not by a suffix. The DOS FAT filesystem doesn't have any concept of file execute permissions (they closest thing they have is a read-only bit), so they had to kludge in something less elegant. -- Gilles R.
