Description
Form is a file formatting utility that runs at an MS-DOS command prompt. It allows the user to:
1. Expand tabs to spaces;
2. Contract spaces to tabs;
3. Filter non-printable characters from the input file.
Form takes its input from stdin and writes to stdout. If you just type 'Form' at the command line you will be presented with the following syntax:
