See this site for a complete(?) list of file extension names:

(there are no spaces in the above URL)

BIN is described as a System binary file. Many programs I have seen, both commercialand custom written have .BIN files.

Stuffit Expander for Mac/Win
Also DiskCopy for Mac

Some .bin files are disk images.

bin often stands for binary file.

What you may have is a source code file for a program. If so, you need the installer for the program or the compiler for the language that the program was written in.

If you downloaded the file, check for inforamation at the site you downloaded the file from.
