[comp.text.tex] TeX beginner question - typesetting tables

pfalstad@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Paul Falstad) (02/09/91)

Hello.  I looked through the TeXbook and tried the examples, and tried
lots of other things, but I couldn't figure out a way to print a class
schedule like this:

             MON        TUE
------------------------------- ...
         |          |  
  9:00   |  FOO101  |
         |          |  BAR102
---------------------
         |          |
  10:00  |  BAR101  |----------
         |          |
---------------------
         |          |  BAR103
  11:00  |  PHY201  |
         |          |
-------------------------------

Can this be done?  If so, how?  It would be nice if the MON column were
divided into exactly 3 parts, and the TUE column were divided exactly
in half.

Please email the answer.
