I backed up some larger files on CD with IBM's program "Record Now" It saved all the folders in one large file called "compdata.bin. Now it tells me there is no program on my computer which can open the .bin file. What can I do to open it???

I had the same problem and nothing would read the contents of compdata.bin. I got access to my old computer (Windows 2000 Pro) that I created the CD on, and when I put the CD in, all the files popped right up. I copied them all to a USB flash drive without any problems.
