File output formatting
I have a file that list information about users and want to format the output into columns using Shell scripting. There are about 50 to 75 users. Example

current file output
Code:
fname 
lname
address
hiredate
dept

fname 
lname
address
hiredate
dept

Desired output
Code:
fname                    fname
lname                     lname
address                  address
hiredate                 hiredate
dept                      dept

The above spacing should be a at least 4 blank spaces.
