Guys,

	I developed a script to help me read the output of pacman -Ss in 2 nicely
formatted columns. The output of 'pacman -Ss srchterm' drives me nuts trying to
read down the package names and descriptions with all the tab indented and
wrapped text -- so I fixed it. Download the script here:

Hi,

I'm new to Arch and to the list but wanted to say thanks for posting
this up. I've found pacman a great tool for getting what I need
installed, but browsing and looking around it was tricky - this script
is really useful for that.

Thanks,
Nigel
