I surely hope not!! But yes, downloading the commercial version is the only reliable course of action, but it's always worth trying macunpack from the macutils package first (included in every distro). There are a lot of references to various related command line programs which got eaten by the course of history, it can be a bit confusing. > Of course it probably requires a different version of glibc, and > probably doesn't have a nice packaging format ;) No it seems fine, simple tar file and ldd shows no problems.

No, because I get the strong feeling that this is a deliberate design decision and that the gnomes like it that way.

You could always download the trial version, which gives you 15 days without being asked to register - I'm sure you won't be dealing with .bin's every day of the week!?

Unfortunately you're wrong at least for my version of gnome, where file-roller seems to be GUI facade without guts: /bin/sh: unstuff: command not found Googling for it right at the top finds a commercial supplier but not a lot in the line of Linux extractor programs. But the answer to my question is here: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Apps/stuffit-archives.html Easy to see why .bin is an obnoxious format. Unpacking a tar or zip just works, as well as a raft of other archive/compression formats. I also know why I don't much like gnome apps. File-roller can't even remember the last directory it opened a file from. I love click-me-to-death GUIs. Not.

Extracting from mac .bin files
Does anyone know of a Linux program which can unpack these obnoxious crapintosh .bin files? Thanks much, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
