The following procedure is nice and handy as a way of laying things out in columns if they don't happen to have a fixed print length. define tabto n; if n<0 then nl(1) elseif n<pop_charout_col then nl(1); tabto(n) else sp(n-pop_charout_col) endif enddefine; But of course it does not work if you are outputting to anything other than the "terminal". Now clearly one can program round any problems, but is there a nice easy way of generating disc-files with tabulated output? Robin |
