At the moment the lines you have given us are meaningless.

Please do a hexdump of part of the REAL BINARY file and the expected ASCII readout.

EG:-
Code:
hexdump -C /full/path/to/binary.file

(An example.)
Code:
AMIGA:barrywalker~/Desktop/Code/Shell> hexdump -C ~/Desktop/Code/Shell/binary2
00000000  00 00 00 0a 0a 0a 09 09  09 20 20 20 00 0a 09 5c  |.........   ...\|
00000010  20 0a 00 5c 20 09 20 20  20 0a 0a 0a              | ..\ .   ...|
