You aren't going to save a binary file as a text file.
The question is: do you want to make a binary dump of the file (displaying the hexadecimal code for the content of each byte as text), or separate out the bytes themselves, leaving them in numeric form?
In VB, use the hex$(byte1) function to turn a byte's internal value (byte1) into the text representing that value. The result is a string with two hexadecimal digits.
