Could we have some samples of the data records?

I can't post *real* ones since it is very confidential data, but here are
a couple sanitized example lines:

500 194.46.2.1 name1.TheGAP.COM name1-du passwd1 encryptpass1 Belfast
SLIP "Christian Surname1"
501 194.46.2.2 name2.TheGAP.COM name2-du passwd2 encryptpass2 Belfast
SLIP "Christian Surname2"
502 194.46.2.3 name3.TheGAP.COM name3-du passwd3 encryptpass3 Belfast
SLIP "Christian Surname3"
503 194.46.2.4 name4.TheGAP.COM name4-du passwd4 encryptpass4 Belfast
SLIP "Christian Surname4"

Note that I am in the process of merging this file with some others, so
there will in the long run be a number of other fields as well, some of
which will also be strings.

The encrypted passwords are standard unix encyrpted passwords, with the
char set:

./
0-9
A-Z
a-z
