ALIGNaligns data in ASCII text files into neat columns.
Also converts comma-delimited files to columns with 2 spaces
between each column.  Input fields must be separated by
commas or white space.  Fields may contain spaces if they
are enclosed in single or double quotes or C comments /* ...
*/ or //.  The best way to understand this program is to try
it on a COPY of any ASCII Text file, especially one that
contains badly aligned columns of data.  It left justifies
the output so it is designed for columns of text, rather
than numbers.  C source is included.  Copyrighted, but may
be distributed freely and used for any purpose except
military.
To use:
align.exe  somefile.txt
Don't use it on Microsoft Word docs, except plain ASCII or
RTF.
There is a companion program available CSVAlign that is more advanced, supporting comments.

Align.exe aligns text in columns.  It not require commas the way CSVAlign does.
