  executable
       
           A {binary} file containing a program in
          {machine language} which is ready to be {execute}d (run).
       
          The term might also be, but generally isn't, applied to
          {scripts} which are interpreted by a {command line
          interpreter}.  Executables are distinguished in {Unix} by
          having the execute permission bits set, at least for the
          owner.  {MS-DOS} uses the {filename extension} ".exe".
