Hello Sisay,
   it's very difficult for me to try to help you without the input files 
you are attempting to convert... could you please send them to me?
   In the meantime I'm also curious to know what are you trying to do 
with those converters? I mean, those tool are heritages of previous 
versions (and are also destined to disappear in future), currently with 
the GUI "Greater" it's very easy to select the preferred output style, 
binary or ascii, so why don't you directly ask the program to produce 
your preferred output format files?

   For what concerns the possibility to visualize fields using ascii 
output files, well in the above mentioned GUI (just press "Help" button 
in the lower-right part of the "Run..." dialog) it's pretty clearly 
reported the fact that GRID can produce either "visualizable" or "human 
readable" output files.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Paolo
