The command at BRL and BMD that does this is "tenex". If you do this before transferring binary files from MC, the only thing you'll have to do to make them CP/M compatible is to strip off the first four bytes. These first four bytes are added to COM files by our Christensen-compatible MMODEM program so that it and other programs can later tell the difference between ASCII and BINARY files. I have written a program, ITSCVT, which runs on your CP/M machine, which removes the first four bytes of ITS-style "COM" (binary) files. It's available in AR13:CPM;ITSCVT HEX --Keith
