I never reported it, but after downooad TSM files from IBM sites for AIX (the 
both are products of IBM) I often see unbelivable file extentions like *.bin 
(it is not clear what to do at all with this file in terms of AIX) or  
*.tar.tar instead of *.tar.Z (see big difference). It looks strange, but not 
crusial for hihgly experienced admins. All other have to read READMEs, which 
look very starnge nowdays as well.

I asked them if I'm doing something wrong but they didn't know.

This is first time that I hear that you need to make .bin file executable, but 
anything is possible. Do you know how to do it; or if somebody came across same 
problem, input is appreciated.

Just wonderling, even the AIX files are in '.bin' format.  You have to make the
file executable and execute it because it is a self unpacking zip file.
