You didn't say that you tried Google in your original post, so I had no 

way of knowing.  What format is it in?  Are there docs?  Is it a package 

or a standard tar archive?  What about source?  You could try reading 

the source as often there are comments as to what it does.  If it's 

binary only, maybe ldd will give you a clue based on what libraries it uses.

It was so long ago that I've forgotten what it exactly is.
So, what is it?

Hi,

Have you tried Google?  Have you extracted the archive and read the 

documentation?  If it's a Debian package, use dpkg --info.  Have you 

tried searching with apt-cache or packages.debian.org?  I can guess 

that it has something to do with Braille.  There are many resources 

available to identify unknown programs, so I'm surprised that you 

apparently didn't try Google first.
