I *hate* to sound like I'm supporting IBM (I'm not!), but hasn't anybody heard
of variable (V) and undefined (U) length records on IBM mainframes?  I have
transferred DVI files to VB datasets and sent them through a DVI2TTY driver
quite sucessfully.  Remember: not every IBM dataset is 80-byte, fixed length!

Cheers,
