Installing software on Beos

Hey all,

I have Beos 5.0.1 PE and I downloaded opera for it. It was a .bin, and when I double-clicked it Beos said it could find no program to run the file. How do I install Opera?

Also, I downloaded mozilla as a .zip. Expander gave an error when it tried to unzip it and I can't seem to get past that either.

Beos seems to have AWESOME potential for me, so fast, so slim, and so functional, but I can't seem to apply my windows know-how to this thing yet!

Thanx,
Joey Mink

Dunno about opera. Email the company?

On the other post someone said that they had that problem and had to do an uninstall and then reinstall but first start it from the terminal.
