[comp.text.tex] HELP with drawing dotted vertical lines

Hi:
 
I have been trying (unsuccessfully) for a while to draw vertical
dottd lines in TeX. My primary motive is to have another style
option for drawing tables. Granted not many people use dotted lines
in tables but I do not find double lines that attractive in tables.
I have been able to generate vertical lines using xleaders but I
have to specify the exact length, I would like to se the macro
figure out the length from the number of rows, strut values etc.
 
Any help would be highly appreciated. If I am successful in developing
my own with your help, I would certainly make is available. If someone
has already developed this beast, please tell me where can I get a copy of it.
 
Thanks in advance.

Do you know about \vdots in math display mode? It's documented in the
TeXBook. I can't promise it fits your needs but it is good in multiline
formulas.
