Hm, a simple (A)REXX program could solve this. Of course, I suppose that
means someone somewhere could also use perl, python, dylan, or one of
the other absurdities abounding in this world.
(The real challenge would be to write the conversion in BASH's scripting
language. There's a slim chance it could be done.)

You could write a nice little COBOL program to do the conversion with a
few well placed MOVE statements. I would offer to do it for you, if you
need it.
And for all those who just can't resist the jokes, save 'em. I've
heard it all before. Just go on about your business. Nothing to see
here. Move along.
