Actually, I did. Sorry I didn't mention it! (I have a bad habit of not giving good feedback here) It does do the column pasting the way I like, though I didn't find "smart tabs" (I've pretty much determined I'll have to give that up no matter what). I didn't realize there were unix versions, so that's a good information. Not sure if my company will foot the bill, but I was pretty impressed.
