If all else fails, map the file into VM with $CRMPSC. Then pass it to a program written in a language of your choice which interprets it as a string of bytes and inserts a correct record structure, writing a new file with RMS. Caveat - I have used this trick before but not for the case under discussion. Nigel Arnot (Dept.
