    TAR is a Unix derived compression algorithm. To extract it, use WinRAR.

    Burn the BIN file all by itself then .... or make a new CUE file.

    You can create CUE files for BIN images by first drag-and-dropping the BIN file onto CDMage. It will popup a dialog box asking you to specify the interpretation format. Trial and error will get one to to successfully open the image. Once it is opened, File --> Save As and give it a new name. CDMage will resave the BIN file but now also include a CUE file to go with it.
