Hi all,

I have been trying to convert a binary file to TEXT/ASCII file in linux/solaries.and commands like string are no good.Also i am not sure how the how output of the file looks like...

I am attaching the binary file as zip since i couldnt load it in its original form in the post incase anybody can help me decode it..

Thanks

See below as I tried to look at the first line of the file you provided.
Thus, don't think the data is binary - at least in 0's and 1's sense - although perhaps binary in the thinking as executable and/or ftp file download.
The od command (with my options) displays the ASCII numeric values for the data on that first line.
