Default saveas fixed text for unix

Hi all,
I've got a project that takes a *dbf file into Excel, does some clean up
etc, then I need to save it as a fixed length text file that's able to be
imported into a Unix system. I've got most of it done but now I can't get it
exported or saved into a fixed field length text file.I've worked w/ comma
delimited files but this has me lost.
I have 8 columns that need to be set w/ fixed character lengths even though
they hold varying length data. Then I need to export/save the sheet as a
text file for the Unix people.
As I mentioned , I'm really lost / stuck and any help is , as always,
greatly appreciated.
