Or a .bin? On my old Mac it had no extension. ;-) I added the .bin because I've gotten burned in the past with browsers (and sometimes even servers) treating non-extention as non-binary (e.g., text). I should have picked .xyzw just to make it be unknown and trigger binary that way. Picking .bin was a bad choice in this context.
