blender file format

Hi! At my studio we are interested in using blender compositor, but our IT told us that to be used with our in house tools for render farm and so on, file format should be in ascii.

I do not know much about this stuff, however we tried to open a blend file in a text editor and turned out to be binary, so no good for our needs.

Is there anyway to write the file in ascii? Or any other workaround?

Thanks! :slight_smile:
