- if these are binary files as in programs your only resort is to use
- LIST i.e. LIST binary_filename.ext /W /H. And then mark the top and bottom of
- the resulting hex and ALT-D a filename to save the resulting hex/ascii.
- then you can print that. the alternative is to find HEXDUMP and use two of
- the commandline options to show the hex output (or the binary) without the
- ASCII decoding.
-
- though if you're trying to dump binary graphic information files, a graphics
- program that can read such information and print it would be a better
- alternative.
