Binary file into text file? Is this an ASCII formatted file and you want to convert the end-of-line characters? Or is it a binary from which you are trying to extract strings?
For the former, search UNIX.com for "end of line" or "EOL" or "convert MAC to UNIX" or something.
For the latter, using the strings program.

encoding
encoding(n) Tcl Built-In Commands encoding(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
encoding - Manipulate encodings
SYNOPSIS
encoding option ?arg arg ...?
_________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Strings in Tcl are encoded using 16-bit Unicode characters. Different operating system interfaces or applications may generate strings in
other encodings such as Shift-JIS. The encoding command helps to bridge the gap between Unicode and these other formats.
DESCRIPTION
Performs one of several encoding related operations, depending on option. The legal options are:
encoding convertfrom ?encoding? data
Convert data to Unicode from the specified encoding. The characters in data are treated as binary data where the lower 8-bits of
each character is taken as a single byte. The resulting sequence of bytes is treated as a string in the specified encoding. If
encoding is not specified, the current system encoding is used.
encoding convertto ?encoding? string
Convert string from Unicode to the specified encoding. The result is a sequence of bytes that represents the converted string.
Each byte is stored in the lower 8-bits of a Unicode character. If encoding is not specified, the current system encoding is used.
encoding dirs ?directoryList?
Tcl can load encoding data files from the file system that describe additional encodings for it to work with. This command sets the |
search path for *.enc encoding data files to the list of directories directoryList. If directoryList is omitted then the command |
returns the current list of directories that make up the search path. It is an error for directoryList to not be a valid list. If, |
when a search for an encoding data file is happening, an element in directoryList does not refer to a readable, searchable direc- |
tory, that element is ignored.
encoding names
Returns a list containing the names of all of the encodings that are currently available.
encoding system ?encoding?
Set the system encoding to encoding. If encoding is omitted then the command returns the current system encoding. The system encod-
ing is used whenever Tcl passes strings to system calls.
EXAMPLE
It is common practice to write script files using a text editor that produces output in the euc-jp encoding, which represents the ASCII
characters as singe bytes and Japanese characters as two bytes. This makes it easy to embed literal strings that correspond to non-ASCII
characters by simply typing the strings in place in the script. However, because the source command always reads files using the current
system encoding, Tcl will only source such files correctly when the encoding used to write the file is the same. This tends not to be true
in an internationalized setting. For example, if such a file was sourced in North America (where the ISO8859-1 is normally used), each
byte in the file would be treated as a separate character that maps to the 00 page in Unicode. The resulting Tcl strings will not contain
the expected Japanese characters. Instead, they will contain a sequence of Latin-1 characters that correspond to the bytes of the original
string. The encoding command can be used to convert this string to the expected Japanese Unicode characters. For example,
set s [encoding convertfrom euc-jp "xA4xCF"]
would return the Unicode string "u306F", which is the Hiragana letter HA.
