Hail php Hotmail client

I'm totally new to php and sure would appreciate some help. I'd like to use
Hail to access Hotmail.
I d/l'd hail-0_08.zip from Sourceforge. The archive contains these files:

HTTPMail.class.php
index.php
MailFolder.class.php
MailFolderItem.class.php
newmail.gif
oldmail.gif

When i open any of the php files in notepad this is the description
included:
"Hail is a PHP-Hotmail gateway. It will allow you to check your hotmail
account via any webserver with PHP."

How do I run this program?

Thanks. I already tried that file before posting here. If I double click it,
I get an "open with" dialog. I didn't know what program to use, so I tried
IE. All I got was the same text file I read when I opened it in Notepad.
What program should a php file be opened with?

A php parser perhaps? ;) Try reading a little on www.php.org - there's
plenty of inifo about running php files from web servers and command lines
etc. However, in your case, you might be better off installing apache+php
on your local machine (PC), dump the files into wwwroot and then point your
browser at http://127.0.0.1/index.php

If none of what I said helps - RTFM, I gave you the URL :)

Dear god you're an idiot... PHP is a web scripting language, install
those files on a webserver that has PHP installed, then fire up the
browser of your choice and point it at the URL where you installed
them. You could have at least bothered to find out what exactly PHP
was before you came here asking questions.
