I agree, it does seem a little odd to have multiple modes in this one package. I also plan on adding more -- the ones I have immediate need for are American Express response files (CBNOT, EPRAW, GFSG, GSFN, and SPOMI), and Mastercard RM37/RM39.\r\n\r\nAs you can see, there are a lot of different filetypes. I'd prefer not to release a new package for each one, since they all have the same basic functionality and differ only in their layouts -- each new mode doesn't add anything significant at this point.\r\n\r\nAs for the name, your suggestion makes sense. However, it's not *only* the financial industry that uses this type of file -- it's just the one I'm most familiar with, due to my work at [Balanced Payments](https://github.com/balanced). [Here](https://www.washington.edu/admin/adminsystems/fastrans/fixed.html) is another example I found that's still in use, and comments on [this stackoverflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7666780/why-are-fixed-width-file-formats-still-in-use) list a few other industries that use them that are not financial in nature. This mode is general enough to be used by those files as well, and I plan to accept pull requests that add new specs/validations (which will shortly be split out into separate files to reduce clutter).\r\n\r\nGiven this plan, how should I proceed? Obviously between the two of us you're the packaging expert :smile:, so I'd love to get advice from you, if possible."}}
