'''BIN''' (or '''Binary Text''', '''BinaryText''', '''Binary''', '''BiNARY''', etc.) is a character graphics format associated with the [[ANSI Art]] community. Its lack of a distinctive name, extension, or signature makes it difficult to find information about it.

== Format details ==
BIN is basically a raw copy of PC screen memory, with each character encoded as two bytes: one for the character code, and one for the attributes. There are usually 160 characters (320 bytes) per line. Some BIN files might have a [[SAUCE]] metadata segment at the end of the file.

-BIN is basically a raw copy of PC screen memory, with each character encoded as two bytes in the usual PC way: one for the character code, followed by one for the attributes. There are usually 160 characters (320 bytes) per line. Some BIN files have a [[SAUCE]] metadata segment at the end of the file, which may specify a different number of characters per line.
+BIN is basically a raw copy of PC screen memory, with each character encoded as two bytes in the usual PC way: one for the character code, followed by one for the attributes. The character encoding would be one of the [[MS-DOS encodings]], usually [[CP437]] in English-speaking countries. There are usually 160 characters (320 bytes) per line. Some BIN files have a [[SAUCE]] metadata segment at the end of the file, which may specify a different number of characters per line.
