the recipe that kent suggested seems really fully-featured. for
simpler applications where i just want "to do it myself," i would use
the same string methods that the recipe's code uses: center(),
ljust(), and rjust().
another alternative for external columnar alighment, in addition to
kent's HTML suggestion is to just write it directly into an Excel
spreadsheet (via Win32 libraries) or alternatively, generate a CSV
file that Excel can import.
hope this helps!
