<h2 id="external-support-binaries">External Support Binaries</h2>
<p>ENiGMA½ relies on various external binaries in order to perform common tasks such as processing file archives and extracting information from uploads/file imports, some legacy transfer protocols, etc.</p>
<p>:correct: Before using features such as the <a href="/enigma-bbs/filebase/index.html">File Base</a> or <a href="/enigma-bbs/configuration/file-transfer-protocols.html">File Transfer Protocols</a> it is highly recommended to install support binaries!</p>
