: BTW what is the difference in hexed and binary file?
: 
A binary file contains 8-bit data.  This is a real problem for
many mailers that only work with 7-bit ascii and for transfer via
modem.

A hex'd file uses ascii 0-F hex digit pairs  to represent the values in
each 8-bit integer.

At least, that's my understanding of it.
