As a start:

find ./ -type f | xargs file | grep ASCII | awk '{print $1}' >ascii.files
find ./ -type f | xargs file | grep -v ASCII | awk '{print $1}' >binary.files

You could then use the contents of these files to do the pax with. 

-----Original Message-----
The problem with doing that is that there are over 2500 files scattered among many 
directories.  Has anyone experienced this before and written some code to traverse the 
directory structure to find and convert files of a specified file extension?
