Does it need to be?

If you were to google "how to execute a binary in Linux" I think your answer
would be the first to come up tho. I don't understand why it's Mystic's
responsibility to show people that?

Even in Windows, one way to make sure of proper execution is to use the full
path to the executable. This also works in Linux and then _doesn't_ require
"./" to execute.

Regards,
Nick
