Sorry to answer my own mail but here is one quick solution I hacked in gawk.
gawk '{
match($0,/$/)
if (RSTART>=75){
printf("%5s%s\n"," ",substr($0,1,75))
printf("%5s%s\n"," ",substr($0,76))
}
else printf("%5s%s\n"," ",$0)
}' $1 | pr -f
A solution without needing awk/gawk/perl etc would be nice.
Best regards
