The Stuffit Expander should work.
I believe ISOBuster software is able to open up .bin files. ISOBuster is supposed to emulate opening an ISO file without the need of burning it to a disc.

People frequently get confused regarding these file types. Here’s how to use these files.
*.bin
*.cue
*.iso
These file extensions are commonly used to show that a file is an image of a CD or DVD.
The most simple way to access these files is to use your CD or DVD Burner to burn them to a disk. Nero is a common program that is used to burn bin/cue files to hard media.
One really nice thing to do is to treat these files as a virtual CD or DVD without ever burning them. Daemon Tools is one program that is often used to do this. Microsoft now has a free program that does this as well.
The other place that *.bin files are frequently used are in emulation software. Gaming roms are often stored in compressed files full of bin files. If you have a zip file full of *.bin files, try Mame or some similiar emulator. http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/696/how_u…
Microsoft has an unsupported virtual CD-ROM program. Why buy alcohol or Daemon Tools?
Alcohol and Daemon Tools are excellent software packages that allow users to mount ISO files as virtual CD-ROMs. Yes, there is a way to use that ISO without burning it to a disk.
Although I love these tools, Microsoft has a free, 60kb program that does the same thing! Of course, it is not supported… and it’s not as friendly as the software listed above; however, it works and it’s free.
Here’s the download link: winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel http://download.microsoft.com/download/7…
Readme for Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel v2.0.1.1
THIS TOOL IS UNSUPPORTED BY MICROSOFT PRODUCT SUPPORT SERVICES
System Requirements
===================
- Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional
Installation instructions
=========================
1. Copy VCdRom.sys to your %systemroot%system32drivers folder.
2. Execute VCdControlTool.exe
3. Click “Driver control”
4. If the “Install Driver” button is available, click it. Navigate to the %systemroot%system32drivers folder, select VCdRom.sys, and click Open.
5. Click “Start”
6. Click OK
7. Click “Add Drive” to add a drive to the drive list. Ensure that the drive added is not a local drive. If it is, continue to click “Add Drive” until an unused drive letter is available.
8. Select an unused drive letter from the drive list and click “Mount”.
9. Navigate to the image file, select it, and click “OK”. UNC naming conventions should not be used, however mapped network drives should be OK.
You may now use the drive letter as if it were a local CD-ROM device. When you are finished you may unmount, stop, and remove the driver from memory using the driver control. http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/620/xp_sm…

Bin files, unlike other files such as .exe, .wpd, .doc, .xls etc don’t have an actual program used to open them specifically. A .bin file is sort of a universal file for binary file. So it can be anything from a rom for an emulator, to image/sound data for a game.
You would have to remember which software the bin file belongs to.
There are a few widely used utilizations for .bin files. One of them is CD images. It is similar to an ISO image. Usually a .bin file will also require a .cue file that goes with it. Programs such as Alcohol 120%, ISO Buster, Nero (etc) can open these. The cue file is usually very simple and can be created by entering the following in a .cue file.
===================
One very common bin files are the daily updates of antivirus files or anti spyware.
Most .bin files are binary cd images. They are usually, but not always, accompanied by a .cue file. These can be opened with most cd/dvd burning software to burn a copy of, or you can “mount” the image in a vitual cd/dvd drive. The most popular of these, which happens to be free, is Daemon Tools. Here’s a link to the download page.http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download…
This will setup a virtual drive that you can mount, or virtually insert, a disk image (.bin, .iso, .nrg, etc.).
use Alcohol 120% to make a virtual drive on your pc and then use its mount feature to mount that bin file on your virtual drive. Or you could use Nero to burn that bin file as an image to a cd.
