This is an enteristing problem, but...
If you read the binary data into memory and analyze it one byte at a time, you can kind of do this:
Read Hex 20 into an intereger, which becomes Dec 32, so..
using the Hex function, IE Hex (32) returns 20.
If the number is less than 15, you end up with a number that is only one digit, so you can do something like this:
= right ("00" & hex (8), 2), which would return 08.
I don't think I have ever seen data stored like this, but let me know if I can help more.
