If you want to reformat the inbound data from that "80 character fixed record"
to something else, I have a free Windows utility
available for download at my web site.
Go to http://www.talsystems.com, hit the "Tech Corner" tab, and look for
EDICLEAN.EXE. Get complete syntax for utility with
"EDICLEAN.EXE -?"
Does From/To multiple formats with PC or 'nix termination transparently
supported.
