Yes, the binary.datatype is "persona non grata" under AOS3.5
see the 3.5 FAQ at www.amiga.de
To quote from the MISC section:
"Misc
Binary Datatype
The installation procedure of OS 3.5 will deactivate all datatypes. After the installation you can make them active again. Unfortunately the Binary.datatype is not compatible with OS3.5. This datatype is a bit special because it does not need a description in DEVS:Datatypes. The simple existence of the datatype in SYS:Classes/Datatypes/ is sufficient to activate it. If you notice crashes while displaying unknown files with Multiview you should check that there is no file "Binary.datatype" in your SYS:Classes/Datatypes drawer."
