downloaded an executable file and opened up a text file

There used to be a program that downloaded an executable file and
opened up a text file at the same time. The text file, of course, was
to write a description of the executable. Many times the name of the
executable, when there is a name, is either incomprehensible or there
isn't a clear description of what the program actually does...or both.

What is this program?

Thank you,
