ITabs (InflateTabs) is a small program that will convert tabs in a text file
to spaces. Lets face it, tabs are handy, but they're also a pain when editors
allow users to modify them to anything but 8. So if you want to release some
source code or some text files to the public, and they use a tab size other
than 8, then you should consider using this program.
Normally any file that has been processed with ITabs will be larger than
the original file. Always backup any files you process!
Mixed tab sizes are not supported.
To start the program, run it from a Shell prompt.
Template: FILE/A,TO=DEST/A,TS=TABSIZE
FILE/A
Text file to process.
TO=DEST/A
Where to put destination file.
TS=TABSIZE
Tabsize to use when converting, just in case your editor allows you to
modify tab size (like CygnusEd does). Defaults to 8.
