Someone I know has d/loaded some software and it unzips to a bin file. Is this the file I need to change the program type for? If so Mr Merry, can you mail it to me please.

If not, what do I do?

Use Alcohol 120 % to and burn the cue file onto disc.. the cue file basically has instructions on how to extract the bin file to the CD..

u can also do it with Nero 5, just drag the cue file into the window

so u burn the cue file and the bin follows it?

in Nero5, select

Compile a new cd
Other CD Formats
Create a CD from an image file

then just find the .cue file (will be prolly less than 1mb) in the same directory as the .bin file, open the .cue file, and Nero will get the information it needs from the .bin file and burn it

don't burn it at all, just use deamon, and mount the image!!

deamon is a cd/dvd-emulator, so you can mount images like cue,bin etc to it and don't need to burn it.....if you use it for games, your games will load faster
