I downloaded it from a torrent source, like Mininova.  I don't remember 
which.  It was different from all other rar's I downloaded, in that, 
after Kate opens it, it is shown as a .bin.  As I recall, they usually 
show as .avi files.  When I attempt to open it, I get a choice of 
players; I choose Helix, because it is the one that said it could play 
.bin's.  I don't understand this any more than I appear to understand.  
Thanks!
