[net.sources] WARNING. tabs.c is unstable.

flaps@utcsri.UUCP (04/16/87)

The tabs.c program posted perhaps a month ago in net.sources does some
fairly strange and apparently incorrect things with pointers while parsing
its arguments.  On the vax (4.2bsd unix) it simply fails to run at all,
but on my Amiga where I have been using it for awhile it seems to poke some
random memory.. at least it crashes my Amiga in conjunction with certain
other programs.

I would recommend examining the source code carefully before using it.
