Hi Henri,

In fact I received this file from a friend, and when I saw the attached file
it sounds like a html file, that's why I tried to use the iceweasel.

In the first attempt the iceweasel didn't respond, then I tried again and I
realized the iceweasel was trying to use the wine. Then I realized with the
command "file" it is a binary file for Windows machines, look:

$ file curriculo762.com
curriculo762.com: PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit
$

Thanks for your help.

"...Ser feliz não é ter uma vida perfeita, sem dor e sem lágrimas; mas saber
usar as lágrimas para regar a esperança e a alegria de viver..."

"...Ser feliz é ser como a raiz da árvore que passa a vida toda escondida
para poder sustenta-la. Ser feliz é não deixar que a tristeza apague o seu
sorriso; é não permitir que o rancor elimine o perdão; que as decepções
eliminem a confiança; que o fracasso vença o desejo da vitória; que os erros
vençam os acertos; que a ingratidão te faça parar de ajudar; que a velhice
elimine em você o animo da juventude; que a mentira sufoque a verdade..."

"...Ser feliz é não precisar ficar se justificando; pois os amigos não
precisam de explicações e os inimigos não acreditam nelas..."

"... Ser feliz é amar a Deus e ao próximo..." - (Prof. Felipe Aquino)
