Given the recent spate of malicious hackers wreaking mischief via software contributed to assorted BBSes, I would think at least twice about executing ANY program which I did not build myself from source code which I would have previously examined. (Except for commercial products, where the risk is small and effective legal recourse would be available.) This is not meant to be a reflection on anyone in particular.
