Thanks, this defenitely looks better. It takes more space on screen,
but that's not really a problem.
The for loop is a bit strange. Instead of using sprintf() it's simpler
to make a loop that outputs the filler spaces. And not do that for the
last column. It can also be avoided to have to place to write the
newline.
