  This program demonstrates how the \t character aligns to
  the preset tab stops.

  Each tab is 8 spaces, and the next character is placed in 
  the 9th position.

  After a character is displayed on the 80th position, the 
  next line is wrapped to the beginning of the next line.
  Keep in mind that a newline character is not inserted.
