    No, the .exe extension is for the benefit of genromfs. When genromfs encounters a file with a .exe extension, it automatically turns on the execute permission for the file.

    Things might have changed recently but I haven't reviewed the code for genromfs for awhile now.

    And yes, it definitely looks funny... http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif
