Although it is occasionally used to represent other formats, a.bin extension indicates that the file has most likelybeen encoded in MacBinary, a file encoding protocol commonto Mac OS, and to a lesser extent, Mac OS X. Thefile is probably an archive, application, or other binaryfile encoded to protect the Mac's forked filestructure. To decode a MacBinary document in Mac OS, Mac OS X,or Windows, use StuffIt Expander. Simply drag and drop thefile onto the StuffIt Expander icon and it will decode thefile. When necessary, it will also decompress the file into a usableform. If dragging and dropping doesn't work, double-click theStuffIt Expander icon and, from the File menu,select Expand. In the Open dialog box thatappears, choose the file you wish to convert.

Most dedicated FTP and SFTP programs (e.g.,Transmit and Fetch) can also decode MacBinaryfiles, and so can some mail clients. Other programs, such asInternet Explorer, will automatically decode any file withthe .bin extension as long as StuffIt Expander isinstalled.
StuffIt Expander is available from Smith Micro. TheMac version is included with later versions of Mac OS and early versionsof Mac OS X (up through OS X 10.3.x).
Note: To correctly decode MacBinary III files, youmust have StuffIt Expander 5.0 or higher. Older versions will work tosome extent, but won't extract icon badges and routing information,which are Finder features introduced in Mac OS 8.5.
Mac OS X can drive this LCD fine on the same hardware, so it appears to be a problem with the 'radeon' driver in 2.6.10. The driver in 2.6.9 fares better, but the screen is afflicted with some sort of bizarre technicolour snow. The driver in kernel 2.6.9 can drive my 1280x1024 LCD over DVI without any problems, and I assume it's. Macpup is a minimalist desktop Linux distribution based on Puppy Linux. It uses Enlightenment as the default window manager and provides a user interface resembling that of Apple's Mac OS X.

A variety of Mac applications compress files, but two simple commands native to macOS fulfill the same functionality-often more quickly and for less expense. There's no such thing as.bin video format. '.bin' is normally an extension used by a CD image file.
