I found a disc I want to read files off of from archive.org that was dumped with something called "DiscImageCreator". What I don't understand is how to convert this into an ISO or how to mount it so that I can read it. How do I un-dump this image?

There are various programs like imgburn or diskimagecreator and it unpacks the bin,cue files onto the disk.
Or use PCEM and mount them to play in your virtual computer which would be easier that burning a physical copy

PS, these kind of disks used to be notorious for malware and viruses I used to get the twilite ones every month I used wipe the hdd and reinstate a clean img of my system as it was easier than protection as Norton was a drain on resources

You can use IMDisk https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/ to mount .bin,cue files , also save contents into .img format

You only need the .cue and the .bin file for each disk.

Then, you can either mount them with a virtual CD program that supports CUE/BIN or burn those to actual CDs.

EDIT : Missed the previous post.

I see what my mistake was. I downloaded the file "Score_1999-07_67_cd1_dic-files.zip ", thinking that this was a zip of the entire CD. It's just the dump of some additional metadata used by DiscImageCreator, hence "dic-files".

There was no .bin in the .zip archive, so I thought it was missing in the ether and had to be somehow reconstructed. The .bin is right there to download as a separate file.
