Transcript commands and functions that may apply are these:

charToNum()
numToChar()

binaryEncode()
binaryDecode()

As in any environment, make the basic functions and command you want 
and use those.

Don't put binary in array keys or fields.

Characters are bytes and all values are allowed.  A string is a 
sequence of bytes.

You can access a sequence of bytes by character chunking as in "char 7 
to 8 of header".
