In case your column count isn't always two or the row count isn't the same in all columns, you could also try:
Code:
awk '
BEGIN {	ncol = row = 0
}
/^$/ {	ncol++
	if(row > maxrow)
		maxrow = row
	row = 0
	next
}
{	d[row++, ncol] = $0
}
END {	if(row > maxrow)
		maxrow = row
	for(row = 0; row < maxrow; row++)
		for(col = 0; col <= ncol; col++)
			printf("%s%s", d[row, col],
			    (col == ncol) ? "\n" : "\t")
}' file

which with your sample input file produces the output:
Code:
ABC	XYZ
PQR	ASD

And, if given an input file that contains:
Code:
ABC
PQR
c0r2

XYZ
ASD
c1r2
c1r3

c2r0
c2r1
c2r2
c2r3
c2r4

produces the output:
Code:
ABC	XYZ	c2r0
PQR	ASD	c2r1
c0r2	c1r2	c2r2
	c1r3	c2r3
		c2r4

If someone else wants to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk in the code above to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.
