Unfortunately, DOS edit, Aurora and most other DOS editors do not handle tabs very well (most of them strip them and replace them with spaces). I wrote a utility, for which I'm trying to find a home, inserts tabs in appropriate spaces. (specifically, if it sees a '\n' followed by two spaces, it replaces with a \n and a tab, which works just as well). If anyone finds this useful or could suggest a home for it please let me know ...
