Hey,
Does anyone know what a .bin file is? Is it some kind of compressed file? What program can I use to access these type of files? -- Global_Killa "You're a victim of the rules you live by!" Global_Killa |

It can contain anything which needs to be saved in a format which outputs the original sequence of code. A .bin file is often used for things like BIOS updates, and up-dates to virus protection programs. It may contain ASCII strings which can give a hint of what the file is for. If you try to examine it in most editors, the "control codes" it may contain will mess up the display. To examine a .bin file open it in a hex editor, and examine the ASCII characters, usually shown to the right of the native code. Virg Wall -- It is vain to do with more what can be done with fewer.

Usually a CD image file. You can mount the image with Daemon Tools and turn
the image into a virtual CD drive. http://www.daemon-tools.cc/portal/portal.php "Global_Killa" <> wrote in message news:c27sak$ih3$... > Hey, > Does anyone know what a .bin file is?
