executable file

In computing, a file - always a program of some kind - that can be run by the computer directly. The file will have been generated from a source program by an assembler or compiler. It will therefore not be coded in ASCII and will not be readable as text. On MS-DOS based systems executable files have an .EXE or .COM extension.
