Even easier than this is doing a literal search and replace of the ^I character
from within the Turbo C editor.  If you are familiar at all with WordStar, the
Turbo C editor emulates it to a T (whatever that means!)  :-)

All you have to do is type ^Q^A and enter (I think!) ^P to enable you to enter
a literal.  You have to hit ^P for each literal, not just once for a whole
string.  Then when it asks you what to replace each tab with, just hit some 
spaces (I use 3).  Then shut off your tabs and you should be good to go!

Turbo C++ gives you an entire window full of information and options for the
replace, so you should be able to figure it out.

Good luck!
