Hey Scott,

Re. the .bin, it seemed Graphic Converter in combination with Stuffit Deluxe
6.0 was busy opening it but in the end a "corrupted file" message -51 came up.
I'll try the drag and drop.

Thanks,

Many files downloaded off the internet have lost their resource forks, 
rendering them "generic" to the eyes of the Mac OS. Usually it's smart 
enought to figure out .bins should go to Stuffit, or worst case, pop up 
the application choosing thingy with Stuffit as an option, but 
occasionally other things wil override that and mess it up. Fortunately, 
.bins are designed to avoid damage to the underlying Mac files. Dragging 
and Dropping is the best bet, it'll force it into Stuffit.

It might be better getting the .bin to your friend rather than what 
you'll get out of it, it'll much more nicely compact and all in one place.
