Some more data extraction fun!

The dictionary has the troublesome fields defined as CHAR(12) so I guess whatever is in them is encoded somehow within the no-longer-supported application.   I am no longer convinced this is packed decimals problem. 
Anyone who can suggest how 52 characters ( remembering the leading 0x0a ) are seen in miniterm from a 12 character field. 
"                                            L¸qMMMM"
and
"ñXÁ8MMMM" 
are both meant to be 12 'character' fields.  

Is there some way to see a hex dump of these files so I can see the real data?  
I suspect the 52 character field has tab characters encoded, for example.

On the original extract both the above fields include 0x0a, I think, causing the wordwraps which prompted my original extract confusion.

Dictionary extract:
DIMENSIONS CHAR X(12)
.LENGTH NUM 4 0 4 ^^^^^^.^^^^
.WIDTH NUM 4 0 4 ^^^^^^.^^^^
.LENGTH-UOM CHAR X(2)
.WIDTH-UOM CHAR X(2)
.MACHINE-TYPE CHAR X(12)
.TOOL-TYPE CHAR X(12)
