The file still looks like this after it has been FTPed to a unix box, so I
can FTP negative numbers from an AS/400 CL command, if any of these are
ok.

My questions are:
- are any of these column lay-outs suitable for the PC people? - Is there
a way I can use the edit code or the edit word in an externally described
file's fields?  - Is there a need for the minus sign to be on the left of
the number?
