Can TBC or the Rinex Utility Decimate a Rinex File?

Pretty self explanatory; we collected a bit too much data and OPUS doesn't like the file size.  I understand there are other 3rd party softwares that might be able to do this but I was curious if something we already use could do it.  Any help would be appreciated.

Don't know if TBC can do this but this is what I use to parse Rinex files. Sometimes noisy data early in the file will cause OPUS to abort and with TEQC I can parse a long observation file down into 15 or 30 minute segments that I can submit individually for RS solutions and average.  

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

I am unaware of an option to decimate files, but the Convert to Rinex utility allows you to export only the GPS observations:

Generally I see about a 75% reduction in file size when I choose this option. Maybe that will be enough for OPUS to take it?

Nice, I saw that too when I was exploring the options menu but I was worried it might leave out other critical data.  I'll give it a shot and see what happens; a 75% reduction would definitely shrink the file enough for OPUS to accept it.

Also, I ran the .t02 through the Trimble centerpoint service and that appears to have decimated it automatically which was nice, so that's another solution.
