[WinMac] Binary downloads

Ok, question about .bin files on the net.

I cannot get Netscape Navigator 4.07 to properly address any program to
automatically open these files after downloading. I use a Mac, and have
tried using MacBinary II and some other little binary opener and StuffIt
Expander. None of them work, although the problem appears to be Netscape,
not the utility opener. I think it used to work occasionally before
version 3 of Netscape, but hasn't since.

I have also tried this on the PC with v4.06 with no success.

Maybe I have the wrong MIME type. It should be x-binary or x-macbinary,
correct?
