Sorry, I should have clarified. In some circles .bin is used just to
indicated a binary file. And I know that the purple apache server and
most browsers are configured to treat a .bin file as binary data and
do nothing more.

I didn't think of MacBinary, which, I suppose, a MacOS browser would
think of.

The file is whatever it is.

Sorry for the confusion.
