- PROGRAM:
- ENTAB - Convert runs of spaces to tabs.
- USAGE:
- ENTAB [<fid] [>fid]
- FUNCTION:
- This copies input to output, replacing strings of spaces by
- tabs so that the result is visualy the same as the input.
- Tab stops are assumed to occur every 8 characters.
- EXAMPLE:
- ENTAB <BIGFILE >LTLFILE
- BUGS:
- ENTAB is naive about vertical motion non-printing characters.
- ENTAB will convert a single blank to a tab if it occurs at
- a tab stop. Thus it is not the exact inverse of DETAB.
