Fellows:

I from time to time miss some of my programs AND they are not listed in 
the http://cygwin.com/packages/ page.  One in particular which is a 
heavey hitter for me is "col.exe".  I frequenly use the "col" commad as:

        man pdksh | col -b >pdksh.man

It safely removes "spaces / backspaces" from your formatted text file is 
viewable with your favorite editor.  There might be more that have went 
this way.

Is there an alias that I can use for "col".  I did have it in 1.5 but on 
my system, 1.5 was a real mess.
