Ok,

first off, what do u mean about a binary file? if you mean something like an .exe or .com then there is no way you can do this because the files are all 0's and 1's representing machine instructions.  If you want to read it (or convert it) to a language, you need a decompiler...  Probably the best thing that you will gat out of it is the Assempler source code.  If I totaly missed your point then e-mail back with more information.

I know this is an old post but wanted to follow up. I was searching for this recently when working on some Teensy Research. The best way I have found is to convert the exe to Base64 encoded ASCII then back. This can be done using a VBScript.

I have outlined how to do this on my blog. http://dabermania.blogspot.com/2011/03/converting-any-file-to-ascii-for.html
