how do i use a binary data file???, i have one of these and i cant figure out how to open it or what with
to use the file, change it to *.bat (* meaning whatever the file name is) go to start -> run -> cmd (or command) go to your desktop, or wherever the file is, and type the full file name.
how would changing it to a batch file help it? that uses the ms-dos command prompt, or w/e cmd prompt it uses now. w/e, i dont know much about this subject, just confused also how making it execute like a batch file would help.
.bin files cannot be run in cmd, they will pop up a window, saying 'open with..' a .bat file will work in cmd...
Yes... if you want it to run then you must find the original program or open source it came from to stimulate it to open with something in Windows.
i know that the cmd pronpt runs .bat files, but the commands it uses in it must be correct commands... gosh, i need a leason on this crap.
A batch file is an ASCII file of commands. Binary files are, obvious, not in ASCII. And they most likely don't have anything close to recognizable commands. Sometimes they have an ASCII portion but you might as well check in an editor. Renaming a bin to bat will do you all the good of renaming a jpg to a gif. If I had to guess tho, I'd say you have a CDRWin image. Mount with PowerISO or daemon tools.
