If I download Mac .bins to my W2K machine, and burn it to a cd, will I be able to transfer them to my mac and execute them? Or will the format frag it all up?
Should be fine... not that I'm sure what a bin is... is it a binhex???
All I know is that PC's will fook up anything mac thats got a resource fork....ie. apps img files, and other things.. best to stuff them first... you can even use a zip file
'.bin' is a MacBinary file. It is an encoding method that combines the Resource and Data forks into a single binary file that can be transmitted over the internet.
Similar to BinHex (an ASCII file with the '.hqx' extension), but is usually 20-30% smaller.
