[TRLog] Cabrillo File for SS

According to the information I have, the Cabrillo file format for the SS 
requires the SENT SEC in columns 52 through 54 (Justified left or right??), 
the RCVD CALL left-justified in columns 56 through 65, and the RCVD NR 
right-justified in columns 67 through 70.

I used TR version 6.48 in the SS (OK, I should have updated, but it was 
working fine).  When I used the version of POST that came with 6.48 to 
generate the Cabrillo file my SENT SEC was left-justified in columns 52 
through 54 (maybe OK), but the RCVD CALL was left-justified in columns 55 
through 64, and the RCVD NR was right-justified in columns 66 through 69.

I tried the POST program that came with the latest TR, but it too had 
formatting problems, although somewhat different.

I can just edit this file manually to solve the problem, but am wondering if 
I understand the Cabrillo file format correctly and what I could have done to 
avoid this problem.  Particularly, I'm curious about whether the SENT SEC 
field is to be right or left justified.  Any ideas?
