PROGRAM
detab convert tabs to blanks
USAGE
detab
DESCRIPTION
detab copies its input to its output, expanding horizontal tabs to blanks
along the way, so that the output is visually the same as the input, but
contains no tab characters. Tab stops are assumed to be set every four
columns (e.g. 1, 5, 9, ...), so that each tab character is replaced by from
one to four blanks.
EXAMPLE
Using -> as a visible tab:
detab
->col 1->2->34->rest
col 1 2 34 rest
BUGS
detab is naive about vertical motions and non-printing characters.
