What's a BIN file? (Zipped pics)

[GR7]

Does anyone know how I can open some pictures that have been sent to me as a BIN file from a friend please? I don't want to say I can't open them until I know definitely that I can'!

Is there a programme I can download to open the pics please?

Thanks

I think you need to burn it to disc via nero or alcohol 120%. They usually come with a .cue file too

As above but personally I use Daemon Tools, free ware and a doddle to use.

Bin File = Binary File

use something like daemon tools.

or just convert the file extension to .zip / .rar

How can I convert them to something else? :S

I've never heard of it before!!!!
Can I forward them for someone to convert and return please?
PM me an email address if you like!

Thanks

I personally use Daemon Tools but various archiving programs will open them too. I would have thought they'd be a bit big to e-mail to someone if they're disc images!

Either mount them with Daemon Tools to use them like they're an actual disc or use burning software to burn them to an actual disc. If your burning software doesn't load the files then just do a "copy" of the Daemon Tools virtual disc you've mounted.

How big are the files in question?
