Yes. I did it this way, using a method which is not very different of
yours. What is good is that there is no need for any other tool than
openjade. Fine.
I my case, I found it simpler to use a list of output records descriptors
(a list of lists, actually) and a padding function.
And what is IMHO interessant is that dsssl was a quick and good tool to
build a solution where the design and writing of a parser could have been
a pain.

Thanks a lot. Jany.
