Binary Data File?

[pavilion]

can you tell me please how to open a Binary Data File?
do you know any software that i can use

[nimbu]

a .bin file i assume??? if its a disk image try nero. Think its file -> burn image -> and then at the file typebox at the bottom choose all types. open the bin file and walla, u should get the burn dialog. If its not a disk image, such as an AV update or a bios image, dont bother playing

Any file can be opened by Notepad.

But if it's the BIN file from a CD Image you also need the .CUE as it tells Nero how to burn the BIN.

binary data file means nothing. everything this side of .txt is a binary data file.

an extension & context would help somewhat

re: "everything this side of .txt is a binary data file".

Actually, to be pendantic, even 'text' files are binary data (think about it: A = 65(Dec.))... :-)

I used to use hexedit on binary files. There are tons of hex editors out there (try download.com) that can handle binary files. As one poster pointed out, even notepad/wordpad will do, but it depends how you want to view/process the data.

And again, as the other posters pointed out, we really need to know 'what' you are trying to open: bin, rar, zip, avi, mpg, mp3, ace, 001, etc., etc., etc. - they are all binary...

the unix command "file" is fantastic

e.g.

"file 01\ -\ Intro.ogg" -> 01 - Intro.ogg: Ogg data, Vorbis audio, stereo, 44100 Hz, ~192003 bps, created by: Xiph.Org libVorbis I (1.0)

"file iperf.exe" -> iperf.exe: MS-DOS executable (EXE), OS/2 or MS Windows

"file NV30FlowFX.wmv: -> NV30FlowFX.wmv: Microsoft ASF
