sounds like someone got the linux version
chmod a+x staroffice.bin
./staroffice.bin
Burn it CD using nero or equivalent.
There should be a cue file and a binOriginally Posted by TomWilko
Open Nero and close the wizard down, select burn image and point it to the cue file, burn away to CD
Or you can get a program to just extract the files from the image to your computer.
I use a program called Isobuster, very nice little program
EDIT: oh, and you dont have to have a cue file as well, that just does errror checking and stuff I believe

I'd put money on it being the linux version (.bin meaning executable binary, a bit like .exe in windows.) I doubt it's a CD image. Linux CD images tend to come with the .iso extension.
That bin file will probably be a compressed archive and a shell script written to uncompress itself then run the installer/whatever.
Of course if you're on windows, that file is of little use to you.

for the confusion, .bin/.cue is a CDRWIN cd image, where the .bin contains the image, and the .cue says how the data is laid out in the .bin - where cd tracks start and stop, and what data type they are, for example.
like kez says, a .bin on its own - and ESPECIALLY for an app with a recently released linux version, is most likely to be a compressed shell script & tar combo. the easy way to check is to open the file in wordpad - if it says "#!/bin/sh" near the top, that's a shell script right there. if it's all garbage, then it's a cd image - but without a .cue it's 100% useless to you
so really, if you're a windows user, and have no .cue file, it's 100% useless either way
u can create a .cue file...its deadly easy...
or u can use some burning software which can work without the cue file to burn the bin file onto a cdr.
Yeah zhenboy is right hex. I've managed without cue files before, but still, that won't be a CD image.

For everyones info...turns out the file was aimed at Sun's own Operating Format...I needed to scroll down the screen a bit more for the Windows versionNevermind, downloading now
