Hi list -
So, as a service to the world, I have made a new option to my
"tab" program ( http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute/AboutTab.html )
so you can make "ascii tab" from tab files. get the source,
lute_tab4.3.13.tar.gz, and build it in the usual way, and
run tab with the -ascii option.
This is pretty new, and not tested too well, so be warned that
if you run it and your cat bursts into flame...well, you can tell me and
I might fix it. The assumption is that you can edit the output
later. (be sure to view with a fixed width font)
This feature is not currently available in tab-by-mail.
