One can always write a quick and dirty program to plow through the file using EXCP with a read CCW specifying a byte count of 56664 or any other number you want up to 65535. Each such block read in must be reduced in size so that other applications can handle the data. If the input is VBS, then the 56KB block can be easily deblocked and outputted via QSAM.
