I save a fair number of web pages (receipts, bill payments,

what should be obvious reasons.
Usually, these come down as an html file and a directory
(of "sub-html" files).
I have two files that correspond to two html files in the right file name format that seem as though they should be the _files
directories,
but they are ELF files:
[mrichter@swordfish mhrdocs]$ file *_files chv81128_files: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped chX81125_files: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped [mrichter@swordfish mhrdocs]$ ll *_files -r--r--r-- 1 mrichter RnD 596460 May 29 2008 chv81128_files -r--r--r-- 1 mrichter RnD 43756 May 29 2008 chX81125_files
These correspond to two html files which do not display correctly (because the files that are supposed to be in those directories are not because the directories appear to be executables. I
don't really
think I want to try running them....
So, is there a way to change a file into a directory? Or
am I crazy?
Thanks.

PS: I put them on another machine and ran them as binaries - both terminated with segmentation faults, and gdb shows no backtrace:
#0 0x00000001 in ?? ()
So, . . . ??? :-)
Maybe the file Header is Corrupted or you have the wrong file association with then??? Did you try opening them with a browser exclusivly? Is the directory marked executable? ls -l Maybe they were saved in the wrong format? Just a thought of explanations?
