/*
   rrtab.c

   This program removes the TAB characters from a text file,
   substitutes the desired amount of spaces for each TAB,
   and writes the result back to the input file. 
   
   usage:  rtabb input_file output_file spaces

   If you do not enter spaces, 
   then rtabb uses 5 spaces for each TAB.
