+'tabstops' is a program that translates a file with columns separated by
+"visually correct" spaces to a file with columns separated by one TAB character.
+It is supposed that there isn't any TAB character in the input file.
+
+Input file is 'stdin', and output is 'stdout'.
+The parameters are the column position of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ... columns.
+
+
+For example:
+
+Player    Goals
+John      2
+Hilbert   25
+
+is translated to (using 'tabstops 11'):
+
+Player	Goals
+John	2
+Hilbert	25
+
+
+---- New Feature
+
+If you add the parameter "-r", then the reverse action is performed. You have a
+file with columns separated with TAB characters, and you get a file with columns
+separated by spaces at the position you asked for.
