Whats the difference between filetypes?

I started writing my first app last night, a simple IR Reader to see what my apple mini remote would do and of coarse it didn't work..

I was testing my code on my ybox2 for the IR port and TV Out .. and when I run the code from the upper 32k of eeprom I get absolutly nothing..

So I am a Mac guy using BST, and my question is what is the difference between saving code a binary file and an eeprom file, and which should I be using?

Thx..

    I think one of both only contains the real needed memory whereas the other format fills all bytes up to 32k with zeros. As far as I remember the binary is the shorter version.

    So, the EEPROM file is what the propeller tool uses.

    How do you start a program in upper EEPROM and how do you put it there?
