Using the standard utilities under VMS it is impossible, as far as
I know, to convert a fixed record file to a file with shorter records,
without loosing the remainder, what I want is simple to redefine the
fixed record size of a file.
I know that it is possible to write a program to read and write in
the desired format, but is there a more sophisticated way to do this,
or did I not read the manuals well?
