- jjuran 2y agoIndeed, I use .mbin for MacBinary, as the more conventional .bin is overloaded with other meanings. I also use .mbim for MacBinary+, which encodes a directory tree instead of a single file.
- Astraco 2y agoI've tried different versions of Macbinary without luck, maybe I'm missing something.
