This program was designed for the purpose of generating compact,
columnized tables. It will read a list of text items from standard
in or a specified input file and produce a columnized listing of
all the non-blank lines. Leading white space on each line is
preserved, but trailing white space is stripped. Methods of
applying per-entry and per-line embellishments are provided.
See the formatting and separation arguments below.
This program is used by AutoGen to help clean up and organize
its output.
