Alternatively you could make the file executable:

chmod +x hlds_l_1120_full.bin

and then run it:

./hlds_l_1120_full.bin

although this depends on the shebang line (first line in the .bin file)
being set correctly to reflect the interpreter to use to execute the
file. IIRC that .bin file for hlds is just a shar archive (shell executable
archive).
