start a installed programs


Hi, tell me how to get free entrance to xxx & some credit cards numbers (just a joke)
----------------------------------
Can you tell me how to start a installed programs, for example I just installed free pascal compiler and I don't know how to run it.
I mean in rpmdrake there is description and there are a dozens of files like:
/usr/bin/bin2obj
/usr/bin/data2inc
/usr/bin/delp
/usr/bin/fd2pascal
/usr/bin/fpcmake
/usr/bin/fprcp
/usr/bin/h2pas
/usr/bin/plex
/usr/bin/postw32
/usr/bin/ppdep
/usr/bin/ppudump
........ and so..
So please explain me what is equivalent to m$ .exe files and were to look for them, or link me to appropriete page.

p.s please don't tell me"oh we tallked about these 10000 times look around...@%%^.." cose I have miserable 40k(max,ofen less) connection, and this forum is sooo f.... big.
Thanx....
++++++++++++++++
I feel like granny who called miC%^$oft support: "You cheated me, this is bad copy...there is no Free Cell... it's not on my desktop!" :-))) such a shame... :-)

well, what was the name of the application? Do this to locate the file:
whereis name_of_application
Or
locate name_of_application
Or
find name _of_application
Executables are usually stored in /usr/bin or /sbin/..if all else fails go back to their website and read installation and usage howto's

cool
