Could you send me a copy as well? I'd also be interested to know what
sort of things you tend to use it for, in case it could be made
better.

mc columnates lines, so if you have the input:

then it will output something like:

Elastic tabbing, on the other hand, tabulates lines, so if you have the input:

> foo  bar  baz

then it will output something like:

> dis  establishment  arianism

I've uploaded the source [1], but I'd not touched it in 3 years so I'm
not really sure what state it's in. There are a few things I'd planned
to add, like options for not elasticising leading tabs, and
right-aligning numeric fields, which I might get around to if I feel
like it.
