See the following knowledgebase article:

You'll need to go to <http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/> and do a  
download. What this actually gets you is a trial version of either  
Stuffit Standard or Deluxe whichever you choose.

Me? I gladly paid for Stuffit Deluxe a long time ago (and pay for  
upgrades). It makes creating and managing multi-file archives a lot  
easier. An added bonus is that Stuffit (either Standard or Deluxe)  
can scan archives for viruses. This is quite useful if you get  
archives from many sources.

Once you get Stuffit installed Control-Click on the .bin file, choose  
Get Info then tell Tiger that all .bin files are opened with Stuffit  
Expander.
