I found the 'tr' command at the Samba/ix web site, but the 'awk' incantation
is missing.

One more silly question while we're on this subject. Are there any tricks to
get frombyte to generate a file other then 80 characters wide? I need
something like 286 characters wide fixed record file.

Once again, thanks for all the help.
