if you are using client access v3r1m3 or higher, take properties and click the
ccsid box.  if you're on an earlier release, you can create a dds for the file,
that's a single field of 80 positions, and compile it.

there's also something on your p/c you can key to force the conversion, that i
don't have handy, but it's in dejanews probably a dozen times.

(it's the crtpf type file that causes the hex type stuff)
