VMS vs. UNIX file system

[Jin Mazumdar]

	I have just been browsing through this discussion and have not
read all follow ups. Although UNIX does not have fixed length
records can one not convert any file in UNIX to fixed length records
using the dd utility?  On the other hand on fixed format systems the
best you could do is fake variable format with an end of record marker
and possibly wasting the rest of the record.
