I guess I'm not quite clear on what you mean by mediocre here. If you mean difficult to use, then I agree with you. But if you mean that the quality of the table is poor or that there is not enough flexibility in the table format then I must disagree. In fact, I find tables in TeX to be a thing of beauty. I notice that you say you do your work in LaTeX and this could account for the disagreement. Tables made in LaTeX using the tabular environment are easier to generate---but not so nice looking. I wish that I knew of some *easy* way to get tables as nice as I get in TeX! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Scott me@ienext.unl.edu NeXT mail welcome ----------------------------------------------------------------
