Binary just copies it byte for byte whether the file is ASCII or some type of binary file. The only time ASCII is needed is for moving between platforms that have different end of line characters, such as Unix/Linux to Windows or vice versa.
And that can be handled by various utilities that do the conversion for you (can’t remember the names). Or just use a text editor that doesn’t care. Or use search and replace in vi. Etc, etc...
