TABS7 - Sets tabs in ASCII text or .ASM souce code files  04/27/85

  This program inserts new tabs wherever possible into ASCII text files
  or .ASM source code files.  It counts the original tabs as well as the
  new tabs.  When the file is finished it then displays the original and
  current tab count.  The tabs are placed for standard CP/M intervals of
  "every eight" columns.  It pads the end of the file with CTL-Z (end of
  file) characters.  It also removes any trailing spaces or tabs.

  It optionally selects between ASCII text or .ASM source code files.
  The text version does not put a tab if there is only one space, as
  nothing would be gained.  The .ASM source code version puts a tab at
  any location it can until it comes to a semicolon (delimiter for text
  comments).  It will still tabulate in the text comments, but does not
  substitute a tab for a single space as nothing would be gained.  The
  .ASM version also protects the space between 'quotes' and does not re-
  place any spaces with tabs.  TABS is likely the most intelligent of
  any such program.

  NOTE: The line count progress is displayed near the left margin.  This
	is controlled by byte 0103.  Change to 0F (every 16), 1F (every
	32) or 3F (every 64) lines to match the speed of your equiment.
	Then save 8 pages.

  NORMAL FEATURES:
  ---------------
	1) counts all current tabs, then removes all tabs
	2) removes any unneeded trailing spaces or tabs
	2) places tabs every 8 columns wherever possible as long as
		there is more than 1 space.
	3) optionally selects between ASCII text and .ASM source code
	     a) If .ASM is selected, does not attempt to put new tabs
		in quoted DB strings and will replace a single space
		with a tab until encountering a semicolon delimiter.


  DISPLAYS UPON COMPLETION:
  ------------------------
		total lines in the file

		   original spaces
		   original tabs

		   current  spaces
		   current  tabs
		   trailing spaces deleted


  WHY THE TWO CHOICES:
  -------------------
	The .ASM source code version will not compress spaces into tabs
	between "quotes", in any DB strings.  As the ASCII text version
	will be processed by a normal display and/or printer routine it
	does compress spaces, wherever possible.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  To use:

	B>TABS HELLO.TXT		   (1)
	B>TABS HELLO.DOC NUNAME.DOC	   (2)
	B>TABS A:HELLO.TXT		   (3)
	B>TABS A:HELLO.ASM B:NUNAME.ASM    (4)

    (1)  Sets tabs in a file named HELLO.TXT.  When finished the original
	   file is named HELLO.BAK and the new file has the normal name.
    (2)  The original file keeps the original name.  The new file is now
	   named NUNAME.DOC.
    (3)  Just shows you can use two disks.  The backup file will be on
	   the same disk as the original and assumes the original name..
    (4)  The original file remains intact, the new file is on another
	   drive and is named NUNAME.ASM.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  04/27/85  Accepts lines up to 255 characters long (vice 128).  Insures
	    last line has CR-LF to allow normal processing.

  03/07/85  Fixed ERXIT so external file is not deleted unless a 'Y' is
	    used.			- Irv Hoff

  11/20/84  Initial version, similar style to FILT5, FORM5, and NEAT5.
