I tried to get BYTECNVT but was unable to get onto the website.
A Google search was of little benefit also.
I don't use FROMBYTE because of the 80 byte record limitation.

A further complication is that ftp is restricted here, so I would have
to put in a request to download a file from an ftp site.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of this utility, or could
someone
email it as an attachment to me offline?

TIA.

Some time back, Ted Ashton offered BYTECNVT, a very handy program that
converts files between bytestream and ASCII or binary.  See:
