Hello. (to read this email you probably need to have a font that can
display ideographs)

I wish to be able to glance over my datasheet in tab-separate-value
format. A typical data file is like this:

池田武	环境友好公益协会	takeshi@envirofrinds.ngo.cn			
蔡涛	世界自然基金会	tcai@wwchina.org 			
王香奕	中国民促会	wangxiangyi@cago.org 			
魏娟	世界自然保护联盟	weijuan@iuc.org.cn 			
吴若冰	美国环保协会	wwwrb@16.com			
熊昆	北京地球村	kimxiong2002@yhoo.cn			
		xxy@cumtb.ed.cn			
易懿敏	自然之友	yiyimin@fon.or.cn 			
费晓静	绿色大学生论坛	yzxiaoji@gmal.com 			

A "Properly formatted" version readable on the console would be like this:

池田武   环境友… takesh…
蔡涛     世界自… tcai@w…
王香奕   中国民… wangxi…
魏娟     世界自… weijua…
吴若冰   美国环… wwwrb@…
熊昆     北京地… kimxio…
                 xxy@cu…
易懿敏   自然之… yiyimi…
费晓静   绿色大… yzxiao… 

Is there a tool to output the "properly formatted" version?

I guess I could easily write one with awk or C, but just in case someone
already wrote such tool...

Thanks for information in advance!
