WordStar for DOS
Introduction
There are two different things called tabs in files. One is the ASCII Horizontal Tab character, ^I (09 Hex). This may be found in ASCII (Non-Document) files and is allowed in WordStar document files, mainly for compatibility with older versions of WordStar and for importing material containing ASCII tabs. The other is a Tab symseq (symmetrical sequence), a 12 byte sequence found only in WordStar document files. There are six kinds of symseq tabs: hard tabs, soft tabs, decimal tabs, center line tabs, right align tabs, and dot leader tabs. All symseq tabs contain information about their positioning on the page in HMI (Horizontal Motion Index) units — an HMI is 1/1800 inch. Such information is not contained in an ASCII tab: since it's just a single character it doesn't contain anything.
