Then as far as I know there is no simple solution.

Does the system you are using NOT have a "proprietary" conversion program to do the task?

If not then it is going to require a serious script of your own to do it.

It might require that you hexdump the file first to covert to ASCII base 16 format, (0x97 for example), and test for nibbles in each.
This is in its simplest form. Negation or sign extension will need to be taken into account and without seeing a small dump of the file there is little help I can give at this point.
