You can force unix line expansion (which effectively means no expansion 
since that's they way they're stored anyway) with -kL and you'll get the 
same effect.

OTOH it's a *really* bad idea if these are truly binary files, since 
they have structure and you can't just insert text strings into them and 
expect them to still work.. you're just as likely to break them totally.
