(dot)linux executables in terminal mac os x

[me281]

i have a linux program that i need to be able to run on Mac OS X
it is "encrypt.linux" it is used to encrypt data for a accounting program that runs on windows (i also have a encrypt.exe for DOS but i want to avoid using VPC)

when i try to run it from the terminal i get
"-bash: /encrypt.linux: cannot execute binary file"

is there something else i need to do in order to run this in terminal Or can it just not be done (I have also tried to run this in X11 and i get the same results)

The file is a binary for an Intel chip, thus it will not work on a PowerPC chip.

You have 2 choices:

1. You can see if you can get the source code for the binary and compile it or
2. You can use VPC and emulate an Intel processor and run it.
