[alt.text.dwb] tbl-companion that automatically splits tables horizontallyt & vertical

Is there a preprocessor for use with tbl and troff (gtroff, actually) that will
accept input similarly to tbl but then split the table should it extend beyond
the horizontal and / or vertical limits of the page ?  Thus a table with, say,
30 (h) x 200 (v) elements would be split into several smaller tables of maybe
15 x 50,  depending on the font size.  Is this a feature of any of the macros ?

(I am about to write a program that creates cross-tabulated output of any
nominated size from a db.)
