Sorry, I apologize for all the confusion. I will try to remedy it here:
 
When you receive a program in source code form, you would type it into Bash as follows:
 
cat <<'EOF' | tee [file name] | bash
type
your
script
here
EOF
 
Then Bash runs the script.
 
When you receive a program in object code form, you would type it into an object code editor and then save it in a binary file. You would then run `chmod +x' on that binary file and then tell Bash to execute it (as opposed to interpreting a Bourne Shell script), hoping you didn't make a mistake.
 
If you did make a mistake, then hopefully the author might have provided a SHA1 checksum against which you can compare the SHA1 checksum of the file you typed. If they don't match, then you made a mistake and you must compare (and you know how slow that is!) that file against the print in the aggregate, making sure they match, before executing the program again.
 
Again, I apologize for the confusion.

I'd suggest first investigating how bash works (read the source), before
claiming funky stuff. Bash interpretes *source code*, it doesn't matter how you
provide it. The only exception is what Greg specified.
