Sorry, my mistake I realized soon after posting,
I wrote a small script to tabify/untabify in acme using Russ's tab.c
#!/bin/rc
fn addrdot { echo 'addr=dot' > /mnt/acme/$winid/ctl }
fn tabify {
        { cat /mnt/acme/$winid/xdata && addrdot } | /bin/tab -n4
        }
addrdot && tabify > /mnt/acme/$winid/data

Though it does what it supposed to do, is there a better way of doing
it (I am sure there is :))
Thanks
