-       stops up to the right margin of the screen, if the given  list  happens
-       to be that long.
+       A <STRONG>tabs</STRONG> utility appeared in PWB/Unix 1.0 (1977), and thereafter in  3BSD
+       (1979).  It supported a single "-n" option (to cause the first tab stop
+       to be set on the left margin).  That option is not documented by POSIX.
+       Initially, <STRONG>tabs</STRONG> used built-in tables rather than the terminal database,
+       to support a half-dozen terminal types.  It also had built-in logic  to
+       support  the left-margin, as well as a feature for copying the tab set-
+       tings from a file.
+
+       Later versions of Unix, e.g., SVr4,  added  support  for  the  terminal
+       database,  but  kept the tables, as a fallback.  In an earlier develop-
+       ment effort, the tab-stop initialization provided by  <STRONG>tset</STRONG>  (1982)  and
+       incorporated into <STRONG>tput</STRONG> uses the terminal database,
+
+       POSIX  documents  no  limits on the number of tab stops.  Documentation
+       for other implementations states that there is a limit on the number of
+       tab  stops.  While some terminals may not accept an arbitrary number of
+       tab stops, this implementation will attempt to set tab stops up to  the
+       right margin of the screen, if the given list happens to be that long.
+
+       The  <EM>Rationale</EM> section of the POSIX documentation goes into some detail
+       about the ways the committee considered redesigning the <STRONG>tabs</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>tput</STRONG>
+       utilities, without proposing an improved solution.  It comments that
+
+            no  known  historical  version  of tabs supports the capability of
+            setting arbitrary tab stops.
+
+       However, the <EM>Explicit</EM> <EM>Lists</EM> described in this manual page  were  imple-
+       mented  in  PWB/Unix.  Those provide the capability of setting abitrary
+       tab stops.

+A \fBtabs\fP utility appeared in PWB/Unix 1.0 (1977),
+and thereafter in 3BSD (1979).
+It supported a single \*(``\-n\*('' option
+(to cause the first tab stop to be set on the left margin).
+That option is not documented by POSIX.
+Initially, \fBtabs\fP used built-in tables rather than the terminal database,
+to support a half-dozen terminal types.
+It also had built-in logic to support the left-margin,
+as well as a feature for copying the tab settings from a file.
+.PP
+Later versions of Unix, e.g., SVr4,
+added support for the terminal database,
+but kept the tables, as a fallback.
+In an earlier development effort,
+the tab-stop initialization provided by \fBtset\fP (1982)
+and incorporated into \fBtput\fP uses the terminal database,
+.PP
+POSIX documents no limits on the number of tab stops.

 Documentation for other implementations states that there is a limit on the
 number of tab stops.
 While some terminals may not accept an arbitrary number
 of tab stops, this implementation will attempt to set tab stops up to the
 right margin of the screen, if the given list happens to be that long.
