- UNTAB: A DOS filter to replace tabs with white spaces in any
- text file. (Especially text files created with the
- Microsoft Quick-C editor)
-
-
- Have you ever tried to print a C source file created
- with Quick-C by using the DOS "type" command ? Strange
- results isn't it ?
-
- In fact, when you set tabs in the Quick-C editor, say
- for example to a width of 4, you get "standard" tabs when you
- try to print the file with something else than the Quick-C
- editor. Sometimes, that can be frustrating because what you
- get is not what you see.
-
- UNTAB.EXE is a DOS filter that remedies these problems
- by replacing all tabs in a Quick-C created source file with
- four (4) blank characters. I know this is not an extraordi-
- nary program (You can't even set the number of blanks to use)
- but this solved me a lot of problems.
-
- HOW TO USE IT ?
-
- Example: The file GIZMO.C was edited with the Quick-C
- editor and prints with strange indentations...
-
- To PRINT the file correctly (TABS replaced) type at the
- DOS prompt:
-
- TYPE GIZMO.C | UNTAB >prn (Or any other available device)
-
- To HAVE a copy of the file with the TABS replaced type
- at the DOS prompt:
-
- TYPE GIZMO.C | UNTAB > FIX_GZMO.C
-
- The file FIX_GZMO.C is now OK. (Tabs Replaced)
-
-
- I wish some people will find the program useful. I
- repeat, this is a really simple program, but it can make a
- Quick-C source file look great.
