Roflmao .PGM is not the guys initials. PGM stands for "Portable Gray Map" and is a program understood by Adobe Photoshop and written in ASCII language. Which is what binary code uses. PGM files by nature are limited to 256 levels hence the limit on how much can be coded in the file.
Quote:
An ASCII text representation (which is extremely verbose).
Please Note:
- For PGM files, when stored in the ASCII representation, there is a limit of 256 levels of gray.

Now I'm not a coder and don't know anymore then that. But I have dismantled .BINS with a hex editor and they are indeed written in ASCII code.
