[comp.unix.questions] tbl query repost

tcianflo@nugipsy.UUCP (Tom Cianflone) (10/15/87)

This is a request for information I received once
before but lost.  Please be kind enough to help me
out once more.

We use tbl to produce outlined tables in text.
Files are first processed by tbl, then sent to psroff
which finally outputs to a DataProducts laser printer.

Here is the problem.  The vertical lines in the table
do not meet flush with the horizontal lines at the top
or bottom.  At the top of the table, the vertical lines
fall just short of the top-most horizontal line.  On the
bottom, the vertical lines overshoot the bottom-most
horizontal line.

If I remember correctly, this has something to do with
the pipe character (|) being used for drawing the vertical
lines instead of doing it some other way.  What is the
fix for this?

Thanks in advance...
