content of binary files stored by save

[Levente Torok]

Hi all,

Does anybody know if file content can be listed?
I mean, once I saved a file with "save" command, 
I want to know what variables are stored in it.
For example:

a=2;
b=4;
save -binary context.dat

restarting octave

load context.dat


I am particularily interested of this because loading from binary format is extremely
much faster so it is perfereble to use it.
However in a case of mine it is a bit larger. Which is either an error or I saved something that I didn't want to save.
