Hmmmm. Doing a DOS copy does not 'convert the file to DOS' it just copies the file to a DOS formatted disk. The file is not converted or changed to DOS, BTW.

You could try opening the file with a text editor that can open a binary file; i.e. VI, EMACS, or one of the myriad bin-hex editors.

What is the utility to read the binary file?

If it is a binary file, you need to understand the format. That means you need to have the source code of the utility that either writes or reads the file. OR, you must open the file with a binary editor and reverse engineer; which is time consuming.
