Is there a method/means to use the S/MIME function to encrypt a file,
but leave the content in a binary format, rather than conversion to
base64 etc??

Basically provide similar function to GnuPG but using X.509 certificates
, and the PKCS#X standards??

I think i figured this out (helps to read the man pages completely)... I
think if i just use the -binary option for the smime command i get what
i'm looking for.

If you mean no translation of the input file yes -binary does that. If you
want the output in binary form too you need -outform DER as well.
