Get the GTF file of your choice (uncompress to recover text version) from here. Cut the columns out that you need.

BED format files also available at this RSeQC link.

all annotation files are txt version. I can't think of one that is binary (or anything else).

Simply download the annotations as GFF or GTF, those will for sure hold the info you need. They are even tab-delineated files so quickly extracting certain columns is easy
