You can unpack a BIN/CUE combo with “binchunker”, which is now integrated into Fireburner (section (6-1-50)). A “.ISO” file that contains an image of an ISO-9660 filesystem can be manipulated in a number of ways: it can be written to a CD-ROM; mounted as a device with the Linux “loopback” filesystem (e.g. “mount ./cdimg.iso /mnt/test -t iso9660 -o loop”); copied to a hard drive partition and mounted under UNIX; or viewed with WinImage (section (6-2-2)).
