BYTE DATA 5.0 - 7.12

I am trying to convert a 5.0 database to 7.12 There are some tables in the 5.0 database that have columns as type Byte. I was told that since this contained binary data you could not unload it with dbexport and move it to 7.12 If that's the case, how do I unload this data and move it over to a 7.1 database? Tbunload at a table level on 5.0 and onloading it to 7.1 does not work so I'm stumped. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
