One method using dd given that you know the record size of course:
Code:
$ dd if=ebcdic_file bs=$REC_SIZE > /dev/null

nnn+0 records in
nnn+0 records out

or
Code:
$ dd if=ebcdic_file cbs=$REC_SIZE conv=ascii | wc -l

     nnn

NAME

       pp_popcon_cnt - PredictProtein popularity contest usage counter

SYNOPSIS

       pp_popcon_cnt [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       The pp-popularity-contest package sets up a cron job that will periodically anonymously submit to the Rost Lab developers statistics about
       the most used Rost Lab packages on this system.

       This information helps us making decisions such as which packages should receive high priority when fixing bugs.  It also helps us decide
       which packages should receive funding for further development and support.  This information is also very important when the Rost Lab
       applies for funding.

       Without the funding we receive based on the usage statistics you volunteer none of the packages on this image could be made available to
       you at no cost.

       This binary collects the number of times a method was used.

OPTIONS

       --debug
       --help
       -p, --program
	   program to record usage for

       -c, --count
