Thanks for your input.  However, the ./...-bin was the first thing I 
tried, and got the message that it couldn't find the file!  I even 
changed the name (to make sure it was there) and did a chmod 777 to make 
sure that it was properly executable.  Still couldn't find the file, 
even with the ./!  This is really weird!
