Does anybody know of a good way to COPY a file into a table if the data is
based on fixed width format? Do I just have to write some code with
scanf(Ick)? For example (Sorry about the poor ASCII art formatting):

| FIELD DESCRIPTION LENGTH POSITION|
|_______________________________________________________|
| 1. Action (E=eff, D=del, P=pend eff) 1 1
| 2. Action Date (mmddyy) 6 2-7
| 3. Country Code 3 8-10
| 4. filler 1 11
5. Paired Code 3 12-14
| 6. filler 1 15
| 7. Country Name 65 16-80
| 8. Footnote code (LERGINFO, Sec 1.1) 1 81
| 9. filler 9 82-90
