INTRODUCTION

  Tab is basically a program to detab and entab files. It will also trim white
  space from lines. Further it will remove all blank lines from a file or
  leave a file with no more than one blank line together. That is, if a file
  has areas with two or more blank lines, you can condense them to one.

 Options are not case sensitive. The options, /D|/E and /A|/B and /1-9,
 all work together. The options, /T|/L|/R|/N|/O, are all independent
 of the options about tabs. Entab with All is not yet implemented.
