I don’t have access to a “darwin freeBSD” system, but
I presume it has the standard UNIX utilities available.
If so, you should be able to dump out a file using “od”.
There are options for dumping in various bases (octal,
hex, decimal) and the “-c” option also prints out
characters when the byte is within the printable
character range.
For example, using “/bin/ls” as my example “data” file:
od -x /bin/ls | head -5 <- Dumps bytes in hexadecimal
od -x -c /bin/ls | head -5 <- Dump characters too

There are also lots of binary-to-ascii converters
on the net. Search for the string “binasc” in
your search engine.
