sql loader start position / skip n bytes at head of file?

I have a dbf file that I am trying to write a sqlldr control file for.

I have the format figured out but the file starts out with 1154 bytes of header matter. Is there a way to skip this stuff?

It is not a multiple of the record length, so if I use the skip feature to skip an integral number of records I end up at the wrong start position.

Please email as I don't get a normal newsfeed.
