I can't think of anything offhand. Utilities like cut and awk expect line
oriented input.

Just write it in 5 lines of REXX and be done with it. :-)

do while chars('inFile') >= 83
x = charin('InFile',,83)
call lineout 'outFile', x
end
say 'I did not bother to read the last' chars('inFile') 'characters'

The speed should be good enough.
