Raw File reader utility?

Does anyone happen to know if there is a raw file reader utility available? One of my processes drops a couple of interim raw files and I'd like to be able to look at the data in them in a columnar format without having to run a downstream data flow with a reader inserted.If you need to do this, then temporarily redirect to a flat file, look at your data, and then put back the raw file destination. Or, temporarily throw a multicast in right before the raw file destination and add a flat file destination. That'd be your best option.|||

It's about time someone created a utility (Microsoft ?).

Not having one does provide a challenge for support, especially if you are heavily using raw files for staging data.
