C.A.T.S. Engine Tuner question

In my quest to learn to burn I decided to download the program to get an idea what a BIN looks like.

I download some BINs and try to open with CATS and Im getting
"file indicates $8D ECM definition file should be used". I looked at the file I download and its configured $8D, what am I missing.

You need the $8d TDF to view $8d .bin's

Did you copy the $8d tdf to the right folder?

If you did, you should be able to just open TC and select ECM_8d from ECM menu on tool bar, then open the .bin file.

that might be the problem 1badZ

the only option I have in TC is Files, Option, and Help. I downloaded the complete program, I thought it was a workable
program for the 30 day trail.

$42 is free and all others are $20.00 a pop. TC is seriously fast at getting things to you after ordrering from them or emailing them.
