     ccoollrrmm - remove columns from a file

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
     ccoollrrmm [_s_t_a_r_t [_s_t_o_p]]

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     CCoollrrmm removes selected columns from the lines of a file.  A column is de-
     fined as a single character in a line.  Input is read from the standard
     input.  Output is written to the standard output.

     If only the _s_t_a_r_t column is specified, columns numbered less than the
     _s_t_a_r_t column will be written.  If both _s_t_a_r_t and _s_t_o_p columns are speci-
     fied, columns numbered less than the _s_t_a_r_t column or greater than the
     _s_t_o_p column will be written.  Column numbering starts with one, not zero.

     Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight.
     Backspace characters decrement the column count by one.
