Changing text file record lengths

Hi,
I am looking for a unix script or utility that can reformat text files that
don't have end of line characters (crlf), into fixed length records of a
user defined length say 160chrs capable of running on Dec UNIX V3.2c.

Any help would be appreciated, I have tried writing an awk script but the
text file is longer than 3000 characters, which seems to be an upper record
size limit. I have a tonnes of these files and not a lot of time to reformat
them.

Regards,
