I decided to give this a look. OUCH, MY ACHING CPU! I used DTLSPAWN with
the commands:

fromdsn -l crlf -t 819 "//DD:INPUT1" |
todsn -b "//DD:OUTPUT1"

The job was using about 25% CPU, consistently, before I cancelled it.
The files are huge, about 16,000+ tracks. In our CPU critical shop, this
is just not going to fly. Oh, I had to use "todsn" because we just don't
have enough UNIX filesystem space to hold this stuff.
