Nonsense.
 
Each Java Card vendor has their own proprietary format for loading their own Java Cards and there is even what is supposed to be an "interoperable" load format that isn't the CAP file. AFAIK nobody uses the "official" CAP format.
 
Cheers, Scott

        Gentlemen,
        
        please be VERY CAREFUL about statements like this that you are making:
        
        " The CAP file will not work. A CAP file is a zipped file containing the
        converted classes, something like a Java JAR file. The file is to big to
        be loaded on card and must be extracted on card. this is too much work
        for the card, so the above format is taken."
        
        The CAP file format is THE FORMAT specified by SUN as loading format for JavaCard and NOTHING ELSE!!!
        Anything else is a privat invention and not interoperable, therefore is not recommended for use.
        
        Best regards,
        Klaus.

        The bin file is an invented file extension by somebody. Usually the
        extension of the file is ijc, meaning Interoperable Java Card or
        somethiong like this. This are the contents of the CAP extracted and
        concatenated in a special order.
        
        By the way, if you want to use GPShell in Unix take the latest version.
        Only the Unix version had a bug. Check out both GPShell and
        GlobalPlatform from CVS and compile. Windows version are not affected.

        The CAP file will not work. A CAP file is a zipped file containing the
        converted classes, something like a Java JAR file. The file is to big to
        be loaded on card and must be extracted on card. this is too much work
        for the card, so the above format is taken.
        
        Take a look at http://web.inf.tu-dresden.de/~ko189283/MuscleCard/ and
        download MCardApplet.zip. There are Ant build script in the MCardApplet
        dir, which you can use. And you can discover how the IJC file is
        produced. The README is important, as always.
