Hi,
any tool available to convert a ascii-text with tab stops to a table
according to tabs?

a2ps considers tab stops but squeezes two short text sections with two
tabs to  *one* column. I need a strict a conversion to a table where any
tab stop starts a new column.

The aim is a postscript file that is printable.
