ok, there are dos and windows emulators to run .exe files.

g++ is the only c++ compiler you'll ever need, or so i'm told, i don't code

If the files are Linux binaries you can just chmod them with the "+x" flag and run them as you normally do.

IF the files are for Windows, I would suggest looking into Wine or Win4lin. they will let you run windows binaries in linux.

hope this helps.

ok, *nix is unix or linux or any BSD or posix compliant OS, g++ is the gnu C++ compiler, gcc is the gnu c compiler
