Neat! I had already fixed up BarFly to do this when opening the file (using something like Irwin's code) but that's more tidy. More's the point, how could I have discovered the existence of col for myself? The biggest problem with getting things done in Unix seems to be that you keep hitting these barriers where you can't figure out the solution and you just have to go and ask someone who knows.
