I`ve downloaded a Draughts (checkers) program. It`s two temporary files without any explanation. How do I go about installing it, please?

Where did you download it from, usually the instructions are posted there.

No, no instructions available.

What are the filenames and file extensions?
A .cab file can be copied to your Axim and clicked on to install.
A .exe file could be installed from your PC through ActiveSync, or it could be a PPC executable, in which case (Windows will probably indicate that if you double click on it from a WIndows PC) or copy it to your Axim and click on it (if it runs it is an executable for PPC).

It wasn`t either of those. I gave up in the end and deleted it. The way I figure it, if I`m buying something it should have a readme file if installation is not obvious.
Fortunately, it was a try before buy.
Thanks for the input.
