Nope you're right, I didn't state the default. POD has been fixed.
Thanks for the catch.

I'm afraid you'll dislike DTF then, cuz it rotates the rows when raised.
IIRC maintaining the raised row at its current location created
some anomalies, but can't recall the exact issue; it probably
messed up the code to force the raised tab to the top of all
the others, which I suppose could be disabled. Something to add to the 
TO DO list, I guess.

BTW: I've added the -textalign option to address your earlier request.
Default is enabled, ie, text is oriented to the tab location. And so
sadists can set vertical text for top/bottom tabs :^P
