tabs converted to spaces?

I'm unfamiliar with expand/unexpand.  BSD, comp.unix.sources?

What I have used, at least on System V boxes,
is the "newform" command, for example:

	newform -i6,20,35 file_name

for columns at 0, 6, 20, and 35.  Tabs in the file, spaces
on standard out.

Is this inappropriate or somehow showing my age?
