I and my friend has Ubuntu. I want to get a software from his lap to my lap. How can I copy the software? Note: I couldn't download the software from net as the software is no longer available.

You can see all the files in a particular software package with dpkg -L packagename. You can find out which package an executable is in by typing dpkg -S $(type -p executable). If you installed "a software" with some method other than dpkg, apt-get, synaptic, etc, you are on your own.
