DETAB v1.0 -- Replace tabs with spaces in several files
Copr (c) 1992,1993 Richard Breuer. DETAB is freeware. No warranties.
Notes:
DETAB reads from stdin if a filename is -. The output is always directed
to stdout. The line lengths are restricted to 255 characters. Longer lines
will be cut. The errorlevel is set to 1 if help has been displayed. It is
set to 255 in case of an error and 0 on normal completion. Output resulting
from multiple input files is appended to stdout. The processing order for
wildcards depends on the order of the directory entries. DETAB returns
nonsense for binary files.
Examples:
DETAB *.TXT
Process all *.txt files in the current directory and append them to
stdout. The order is the one DOS's dir tells you.
DETAB HEADER.TXT - FOOTER.TXT
After processing HEADER.TXT the user must input text from the keyboard
until Ctrl/Z (=EOF) is detected. Then FOOTER.TXT is processed. All output
is appended on stdout.
DETAB MYPROG.PAS -r
Translate MYPROG.PAS, but don't change the quoted strings.

Additional information:
DETAB is similar to the Unix command EXPAND.
