It looks like maybe you are trying to run a powerpc executable? Is your system using a powerpc CPU? (Like an old Mac) If not that might be your problem.

It looks like there are "adplay" packages for ubuntu and fedora. If you are using either of these distros maybe that might be the easiest route to get this application working. I've never used it.

I never use 7zip unless I am copying some from the Windows world and I need to uncompress it. (very rare for me) I tend to use gzip for my compression needs.

I was using Linux and wanted some clarification.

I was recently discussing with some people about the compression utility
7zip (also gzip compresses, tar doesn't), and how it doesn't compress media
very well.  Well I had another one my mind that did, but I couldn't remember
it.  Well I do know and I believe it was called 'tecuha'.  When I first
found it was a while ago so it might be a bit dated, but it did some great
compression with images, video, and maybe even 3d objects.  If anyone had
any thoughts on this I'd like to hear them.
Slightly more Linux-based I had a problem.  I've been trying to run this
program which isn't a Windows exe.  So on Linux I finally got some info of
why but still don't have it running.  It's a player called AdPlay that is
apparently en ELF file that still refuses to run, even though I thought
Linux had support for that.  So I'll attach some links I found and the
information I got from some commands.  If anyone can help me run/emulate
this, or get me any farther thanks.
