tabstops fld

[David Vaughan]

When you say that would be slow, are you using the <repeat for each> 
construct for the loop? As discussed in other threads, it is much faster 
than <repeat with i = 1 to N> or whatever.

I have very fast Split and Join XFCNs for column separation and joining 
under Hypercard but they are all history now.
