as an example: i have a file with the numbers 1-10 each on a line
i want to print out
 1    4    7 
 2    5    8
 3    6    9
10

1) Is there a single unix command that lets me do this?
2) Is there a kludge that is less than a line that can do this?

Also: i'd like the flexibility of paste (i.e. "paste - - -") too
too - but I'll take what I can get.

** email please **
