Help with UNIX Program

I am trying to set up a file for someone and they have a program that was built for UNIX. I am guessing that it is running in some sort of emulator since they are on WinXP. It is a database and we are trying to get all of the addresses out of the database. I talked to the tech support for the software, and if I understood them correctly, this is all that can be done.

The data can be outputted to a file (.tmp I believe) and then the information can be saved out to something else. The problem is that it won't be delimited. It will just be one long string of text according to the tech support. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to get this in a usable format. The database is about 6000 names, so if you figure that by about 6 pieces of information per name, there is no way that we can go in and physically delimit it.

In case your wondering, the program was written in the early 80's. The new version will output to databbase files, but the upgrade is 100,000 and they aren't willing to do that.

Help.
