.BIN is a disc image for burining with CDRWIN
.IMG is also a cd inage,m i thing it is the Nero format
.TAR are like .zip files (archives) use WinRAR to extract them
.GZ is also a compressed file witch im pritty sure WinRAR can do.

In the furture check out www.filext.com

you can use ISObuster and WinIso to open them (CDRWIN and others to burn them) but i don't know about putting them on floppy how big are the files.

Roflmao!

A .BIN on a floppy? God that would have to eather b one small a$$ image or u will spend more on floppys then just buying a burner :D

If u would like to extract the files from it tho u can use winISO or ISObuster.

What kyle is so ineloquently trying to say is, if the size of the files are quite large, considering that only 1.44 mb will fit on a floppy, it might be rather impossible (or extremely time consuming, not to mention using many disks) to extract them. Perhaps if you gave us the particulars of your situation, we could better advise you.
