I would recommend you try a macro package called TeXsis, written by
Eric Myers and Frank Paige. It is completely Plain-compatible. It includes
macros for making tables, document styles ranging from books to articles
to memos to form-letters, and auto-numbering of equations, references,
sections, subsections, etc. It comes with a well-written free manual.
It is available via anonymous FTP from 

	lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu

as the file 

	texsis/TeXsis-2.15.tar

Installation is straightforward---but of course it is *always* better
to have your system administrator install it on the system. :-)


If for some reason you are interested only in the table making macros,
then those are available separately too, in the directory

	texsis/tables

which also contains documentation. See README file there.


For more information, contact Dr Eric Myers (myers@lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu).
