$ unset a && <yourfile tr ' ' '\n' |while read b; do [ $a ] && printf "$a $b \n"; a=$b; done

I've never heard of "rs" and I don't have it on any machine I use. What does it
do and what does it's output look like given the above input?

Most of the words are duplicated, printed as both $b and $a. I think this version works.

unset a && <yourfile tr ' ' '\n' |while read b; do [ $a ] && {printf "$a $b \n"; b=''; }; a=$b; done

Thanks Hermann, this works just fine. Thanks everyone else, too. It's
amazing how many different ways there are to do something like this.

It seems to be a FreeBSD specific thing.
