[Leaplist] PSK31 in Linux

[Richard F. Ostrow Jr.]

That's a message you receive when you try to open a .pdf file without a .pdf 
reader or similar. In this case, you don't have anything that knows how to 
open a .exe file... in other words, you're hosed as far as that route will 
take you. You can try to open it in Windows Exploder (after saving it) and 
see if that gives you the same result.
