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.

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.
