Straw men, Paul?

   Filter for removing tabs.  All tabs in the input will be replaced
   with spaces.  This filter takes one optional command line
   parameter, which specifies the number spaces to replace for a tab.
   If no size is specifies, it defaults to 8.

   example usage:

   remtab 6  untabbed.c

int main(int argc, char **argv )
{
      int tabsize = 8;

      if (argc > 1)                 /* look for command line parameter */
      {
            if (0 == (tabsize = atoi(argv[1])))
                  tabsize = 8;
      }

      while (1)
      {
            char buf[BUFSIZE];
            int nr, i, j, pos = 0;

            nr = fread(buf, 1, sizeof(buf), stdin);
            for (i = 0; i < nr; i++)
