I am creating a text file with Quiz that needs to be 80 characters wide.
The data may not fill that 80 characters but the field needs to be displayed
as 80 characters wide.  When I vi the file after the quiz has executed those
records that do not fill the 80 characters are really not 80 characters
wide.  How do I go about creating a txt file that stays 80 characters wide?
I could dump out a char at 81 and use a unix script to strip that character.
Any other suggestions?
