Hello,
STR-files are Record-Layout-Files that shows the contents of a file a
in a structured view. When you create a STR-file you use the
description of the file section.
Tip: Save the STR-file with the same name of the datafile in the
datafile directory. When you open a datafile in the catalog, MFE will
open the STR-file too, and you have a structured view.

Correct.
Concerning your COMP-3 or other "binary" formatted numbers (COMP-5,
COMP-X, COMP-etc), this can be viewed fairly in "readable" manner
using the MF/Data File Editor. So in this case you could resolve any
of your binary formatted data conversions.
Utilizing other methods of viewing your binary formatted numeric types
record (or file) is not readable in other text viewer utility program.
