Has anyone written a good UNTABIFY utility?  It should be able to replace
tab characters with an appropriate number of spaces so the output text
looks "identical" to the input (it should not merely replace tabs with 8
spaces).  Yes, I know I could write it myself.  Yes, my version of emacs
(Unipress) will do this for me interactively.  I need a program that can
run in a command file.  Can anyone help?
