[Tugindia] Script to tabulate data.

[H S Rai]

I  wrote  a  small  script  (see below  signature)  to  tabulate  data
available as space or tab separated columns (Normally result file of a
program). I  am posting  it  with the  aim that  someone  may find  it
useful. or someone  may suggest some better way to  write such script.
I used `k' as  pot variable to do what I wanted, as  with my very poor
knowledge of scripting, I could not do without that :-(

Usage:
$ tabulate foo.out

It will produced foo.out.tex file.
