Comments on: What is an executable file anyway? https://grey-panther.net/2008/12/what-is-an-executable-file-anyway.html Just another WordPress site Thu, 01 Jan 2009 09:45:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: kurt wismer https://grey-panther.net/2008/12/what-is-an-executable-file-anyway.html#comment-570 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 09:45:21 +0000 https://grey-panther.net/?p=494#comment-570 i’m willing to bet that a certain amount of confusion will arise simply over the use of the term executable file…

that’s why i prefer the more generic term “program” – while all executable files are definitely programs (by definition), it’s arguable whether all programs can be considered executable files (since some are not even distinct files)…
