No, because in many of the files 5 or more fields will be right next to each
other with no spaces, commas, etc. I can't go in an put these in by hand
either, because we are talking about files that may be 500 to 2000
characters wide and 10000 to 1000000 lines long.

Thanks,
Jason

Can you set it as delimited, using ~ or some such thing to separate the
columns?
