On a decstation, you can do the following:

> hydrox-cookie% ls | pr -5 -t -w75
> Makefile       ash.inst       ash2           decmipsbin     std.h
> ash            ash.sh         ask.c          readdir.c      vaxbin
> ash.help       ash.sh.packed. ask.mk

On a vaxstation 3100.  I get this (newlines courtesy of 'pr'):
 
> heath-bar-crunch% ls | pr -5 -t -w75
> Makefile
> ash
> ash.help
> ash.inst
> ash.sh
> ash.sh.packed.F
> ash2
> ask.c
> ask.mk
> decmipsbin
> readdir.c
> std.h
> vaxbin

It is interesting to note that any number other than `1` (for the -n
option of 'pr') produces this output.
