.bin? daemon what?

Hello everybody,
I need a few vocab definitions here, anybody know what .bin and .cue images are? And another thing, what is daemon tools? Apparently i need daemon tools to mount .bin images but i haven't the faintest idea what that means. Any help would be great.

.BIN and .CUE files are "images" of CDs or DVDs; that is, they are files that contain the entire binary contents of a CD or DVD. Daemon Tools is a program that allows you to "mount" these files, so to Windows it looks like you have the actual CD or DVD in a drive, and you can use it as such.

This is a common method of software piracy, however. We can't help you pirate software as per our forum rules.
