well i concur with the conceivable dilemma.  it crossed my mind, but i was pretty sure i dl'd the file that was specific to linux..... been busy with too much other shit so i haven't tried doing it all over again basically

new here apologies in advance... running linux.  after

sh start.bat

i get 'can't open zecminer.exe'

so i put sh before zeminer.exe

i get 'can't open MZ?mystery language'
        'ZecMiner64.exe: 13: syntax error ")" unexpected

Thoughts?  Wrong file?  bad DL?  some vim or bash setting i need to run/read the file?

Thanks in advance
