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

[edit] Format details

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.
