Here's my 2 cents on the tab subject.  I think Z is doing it just right
when it displays tabs at whatever setting you choose, but still stores
them internally as tab characters.  It's not the fault of Z if a particular
printer forces tabs to be every 8 characters.  It's up to the editor, the
printer driver (or printer itself) to allow the user to set tab stops
wherever she wants.

Anyhow, that's my opinion.
