---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGES
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.12: Added setCrop( 1 | 0 ) to force the fixed field format:

      setCrop sets whether records should be cropped to the size of the format
      or not.
      For example if you have a string 'whee' that is meant to be fit into
      a fixed format of 2 then if setCrop is true the record will be changed
      to 'wh' to constrain it
