I'm having trouble getting tbl, [nt]roff, and -me to produce tables that cross page boundaries. I'm using the ".TS H" and ".TH" macros to define the header to be printed on the table continuation. We're running SunOS 3.5. The second table should cross from page 1 to page 2. About 9 pages of output are produced, including two "Cannot do ev." error messages. I used this command line: tbl junk.me | nroff -me | col | less. Troff also has the bug. Sun support staff basically said, "Ask the net." Followups have been directed to comp.text.
