TABS/FLT is a very simple filter for TRSDOS 6.x which will expand tabs on the
video display (*DO).  A lot of the software for the Mod 4 expands the tabs 
without depending on the DOS or the hardware, but there are times when that 
isn't enough.  If you do any programming in assembly language, for example, 
you will find that sending a 09H to the screen does absolutely nothing.  The 
same is true for many of the programming languages available for the Mod 4.
I ran into the problem initially when I was trying to use the LC compiler to 
learn C and found that '\t' didn't have any effect when sent to the screen.  
That led me to understand why the output from the help function on my ADC 
modem wasn't formatted as nicely on the screen as it was in the manual.  At 
any rate, I don't have the problem any more.  I had been thinking of the basic 
algorithm for the filter for over a year, and this week I finally got around 
to doing something about it.  TABS/FLT is installed and used just like any 
other filter:  use SET *TB TABS to establish a device for it (the device name 
is not important), then FILTER *DO *TB, and you will be in business
