Very nice. There's lots of places where I can use the "column"
command. I can't believe I never encountered it before.
Yes, but it's so new. The man pages were authored 1993 :^)
And I believe the command originated on BSD in the 1980's.
According to the man page, it originated in the "Reno" release of
4.3BSD, so probably that's right.
And it was floating around at some places far earlier than
the official release. (some the Vaxen on the Electrical
Engineering school machines on the ecn.purdue.edu network
always had the latest builds (within 1 month)) from Berkeley,
as well as other things from CMU and MIT.
