HELP!! I have a problem with DWB's tbl. There must have been someone out there that has come across the problem and HOPEFULLY someone has a fix. We do have the source so if you know what to change, it would be appreciated. The BUG occurs when you define two tables one right after the other. (Example shown below.) In the second table you will see a line missing and in its place there will be an arrow and several dots ( ex. <......... ). It seems that you can add,or remove, characters to the first, or second, table and have this line change position. I seem to think the table does not get reinitialized somewhere. The tbl that comes with the 4.2BSD source seems to handle this perfectly but the DWB one does not. Example input: .sp .TS c s l l. Test the first table to make an error col 1 col 2 .TE .sp 2 .TS center; c s l l l l.

If it has alredy been solved please contact me personally. Thankyou very much in advance Terry Heintz System programmer University of Calgary ihnp4!alberta!calgary!terry (403) 220 3517
