When downloading Macintosh files from Macromedia, you may be given a choice of two different file formats: ".bin" or ".hqx." What's the difference between these two file formats? The .bin file downloads faster but is less compatible with older Macintosh systems. The .hqx file takes longer to download but is more compatible with older systems (such as Mac OS 7.0, 8.0 and 8.5).
