GrADS can read binary files, provided they are written in a particular way.
Your best bet is to study the documentation:

     http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/aboutgriddeddata.html

As for reading TOMS EarthProbe aerosol index data, are you sure you have
"binary files"? The documentation:

    ftp://toms.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/eptoms/data/1README

refers to ASCII formatted files. In this case, they will need to be
reformated in order to be read by GrADS.
