Subject:	How to expand tabs? Where is expand program.
MIME-Version:	1.0
X-IsSubscribed:	yes

There used to be a very handy cygwin program called expand for expanding tabs into spaces. 

Now I cannot find it on the nice installation GUI (setup_x86_64.exe).

I tried searching the archives for it but there were too many hits for other topics ("expand" is a common word, apparently). 

Has this been superseded by a better program? 
Has it been taken away? I hope not!

How can I get a command line interface for expanding tabs into spaces that I can easily use from VI?
Thanks 
Siegfried
