I don't know about any versions of Radius that do this, but it was a rather
simple modification when I did it to our Radius. I'll look at the files
and see what the diffs where.

The resulting detail files are about 1/10th the original size. Makes the
files much easier to feed into other programs, plus make a quick SEARCH (or
grep) of the detail file actually useful.

Thanks,
Jim
