I have Perl Code that reads them.

I a lot of ways the data formats and presumptions shown
are "mainframeish" and screwy IMHO.

My approach is to use Perl to parse the text files, something
it's VERY good at and stuff it into a database for real work.

My current job is parsing and quality assurance for this same
data as purchased from THE commercial dist. for this data and
build a datamart to build our "Data" products to update a wide
range of FMS systems.
I Won't say any more than that aside from the fact my current 
"Real" is job doing this same kind of parsing on essentialy
the same data.

I should be able to avoid any conflicts of interest since
the source data is pretty much free from the feds and there
sure is no conflict as to the customers.

I think my perl code is kicking around someplace out there 
in cyberspace and I learned a few things that should help
with the second version.

As soon as I can get some time and a functional broadband
connection at home I'll get something together.
