I must have been brain dead when I read this and didn't respond.
Sterling (and probably other VANS) wraps the data at column 80. Your
translator should have a setting (at least the Sterling translators do)
to read this and interpret it correctly.
For reading pleasure, what I usually do is (1) remove all of the
<0d><0a> and then (2) replacing all of the end of line terminators (look
at the data and see what it is) with <0d><0a>. I've got a nice little
dos filefix utility that I use called CHANGE.EXE.
Or you can just learn to read 80 character cards :)
