So, what is the .bin file?

The .BIN file is a file produce in a Navicare Watchchild labor and delivery system for hospitals.

Is it one you have created your self?

The .BIN are created when a mother is hooked up to a fetal monitor.. ie. The flowchart.

What format is the binary data? Im new to formats of .BIN files but I will do some research on different file types for .BIN

What PDF create tool do you have?
Ill use what ever file type that will allow me to view the data in binary file.... NOT the actual binary or Hex or oct digits but the original flow chart that the data represents.

..Also here is the set of the legacy system that I am using. I work from a client computer on a hospitals network and I access with a VPN to the machine. All the patient information is located on a ms server that I can access with sql server. While browsing the schema of the database I located the file location of the flow chart and then discovered that they were in a .z compressed file. my first objective was to decompress, not problem there. That left me with a .BIN. The Navicare Watchchild system obviously has a way to convert these .BIN back to the flow chart image when a patient record is retrieve from the archived system. Im trying to bypass using the user interface say that I may create batch prints of these files without using the client software and programming automation tools.

I hope this helps with clarifying.

ZZIPLIB-BIN(1)						      General Commands Manual						    ZZIPLIB-BIN(1)

NAME
zzcat, zzdir, zzxorcat, zzxordir zzxorcopy - small tools using zziplib SYNOPSIS
zzcat FILE [...] zzdir DIR [...] zzxorcat [-HEX] FILE [...] zzxordir [-HEX] DIR [...] zzxorcopy [-HEX] FILE OUTFILE DESCRIPTION
zzcat prints the given files to stdout, so you may want to redirect the output. The FILE can be a normal file or an inflated part of a zip archive (see OPTIONS). zzdir prints the content table to stdout of the given DIR or zipfile. zzxorcat prints the given files to stdout, so you may want to redirect the output. The FILE is an inflated part of a zip archive obfusctated with a xor value optionally given by the HEX option. zzxordir prints the content table to stdout of the given DIR or zipfile. The DIR can br an inflated part of a zip archive obfusctated with a xor value optionally given by the HEX option. zzxorcopy copies data from FILE to OUTFILE adding simple obfuscation by xor-ing each byte with the HEX value given. Remember that copying data twice with the same xor-value will result in the original file data. OPTIONS
zziplib-bin tools accept the following options: FILE Input filename for reading or part (if supported by tool). Part is written as zipname/filename, e.g.: for accessing README inside of data.zip you'll specify data/README. DIR Disk directory, zipfile or inflated part of a zipfile. -HEX Hex number for xor-ing the zipfile contents. If not supplied all tools that use it take 0x55 as default value for xor-ing. OUTFILE Output file name for zzxorcopy. AUTHORS
