Our SQR v.3.0.15 for SCO/Oracle has a flag "-XTB" that preserves trailing
blanks in the output file.  I'm not sure what versions of SQR have this
flag; you can see if yours does by running SQR without giving it any
arguments on the command line.  My guess would be that all versions which
strip the trailing blanks also have this flag to suppress the new
behavior, but I'm not sure about that.
