I have several suggestions.
Thanks.

It isn't clear whether your problem is with the autoindent feature or
with the use of tabs instead of spaces for indentation.

To suppress autoindent, type ":set noai", and to ensure that the
indentation consists only of spaces with no tabs type ":set ts=80" or
some other large value (ts is tabstop).

Most BSD Unix systems have a command called 'expand' which
does what you want.  I know Irix is System V, but it still
might have the command.

	Expand not  worked on IRIS

You can use the unix utility col with the -x option to replace tabs with 
spaces.

	% col -x < file_with_tabs > file_no_tabs

This is fine. I can uncode indent tabs to spaces by this command.

	Try "pr -e file".

This can be command work, but this command is for printing.
