Subject: Command "tail" printing of '\b' and '\t' Characters
Hello:
When using the command tail <file> on a file that contain the ASCII
characters '\b' (i.e backspace) or '\t' (tab), we get the following
characters printed to the terminal rather than the expected characters:
'\b' --> ^H
'\t' --> ^I
The output tty is formated incorrectly because these characters are
not expanded correctly.
