Yes, the file size is important to me. I want it to be as small as possible.
Then you should repack it on a Mac into StuffIt (.sit) format.
So should I just use the windows version of stuffit to change the
.bin file to a .sit file?
No, that won't work.
What kind of compression difference can I expect?
Quite large. (MacBinary -- .bin -- is not a compression format; it's
just a wrapper for two-fork files and metadata and is in fact larger
than the original file.)
Best,
