[QUOTE="andyholmes1, post: 23461"] Hey y'all- quick question: I've downloaded a fairly large application file that has the extension .bin... the problem is, it won't open. My G5 tries using stuffit expander, then declares that it must not be compressed and does nothing more with the file. In case the extension might have been changed, I've tried changing the .bin to .sit and .zip, but neither of those work either (what extensions am I forgetting to try?). Does anyone know of a way to get at the contents of this file? There must be some way, as it's a pretty popular file for swapping. (Incedently, changing it to .cue does nothing, it just changes itself back to .bin). I'm pulling my hair out here. If anyone has ANY ideas, please let me know! Thanks Andy [/QUOTE]
