At the end, Beyond Compare uses external programs for non-text format files, so you can use any program you want with B.C. to generate text versions of the binaries.

Here es an example of configuration for B.C. that uses a program called "VFP2Text.EXE":

With a config line like this:
ConvertLoadApp Value="C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 3\VFP2Text\VFP2Text.EXE %s %t"

I think that you can replace this program with eny other you like.
