I downloaded Macromedia Cold Fusion MX. However, it's a ".bin" file, as opposed to a typical tar or gzip archive that i'm used to. Anyone know how to extract these?

A file with a .bin extension is simply an executable. You can put it in your /usr/bin (or any dir. in $PATH). It _may_ be a shell script, but thats not for sure. If it has execute permissions, you can simply execute it by typing "./filename.bin".
