Thanks for the answers, but it's not what I want... :( I know I can use BaseForm to do this (as I told), and I know how to use format to format expression on any Form that is built-in to Mathematica (like: CForm, FortranForm, InputForm, StandardForm, etc.). This is what documentation explain. What I want to know, is how to create my own "output form". This BinaryForm is just a simple example, in fact what I want to do is more complicated (and I tried to simplify the question). yehuda: I looked at Combinatorica, but found just a formatting rule for graphs, and not and example of how to create a new output form. Maybe someone from Wolfram staff could help me?
