Hello -

I am using Ubuntu 11.04.

I am having difficulty running "HTB 2.0, a free, command-line utility
to reformat HTML/XML/XSLT source code with an array of user specified
options. The output is clean, consistent, and easy-to-read tagged 
markup code" from http://www.digital-mines.com/htb/.

You don't get the source, only compiled executables for Windows,
Sun, and Linux.  To install, I moved the linux executable (called htb)
to /usr/local/sbin.

$ ls -la /usr/local/sbin
total 68
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 2011-09-22 18:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root  4096 2010-10-07 11:56 ..
-rwxr-xr-x  1 jim  jim  60225 1998-05-14 20:50 htb

If I try to run htb, I get:

$ htb
bash: /usr/local/sbin/htb: No such file or directory

This might be relevant:

$ file /usr/local/sbin/htb
/usr/local/sbin/htb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

$ file /bin/bash
/bin/bash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped

The software was last updated in 2004.
I tried to contact the author at the email and phone number
listed in the docs and on his website, but the email bounced
and the phone number is unreachable.

Any ideas?  Thanks for your help.
