I am relatively new to doing tables in TeX or LaTeX.  I have used tbl
extensively and have gotten used to creating tables with much less
hassle (or so I think) than what seems to be necessary in LaTeX's
tabular environment.  I also need to be able to create rather
complicated tables at times, for these I will give up ease for
features.

I have not been able to find any other table making environments
at such places as washington or clarkson.  Am I missing them or
is everyone content with what LaTeX provides or have people
cooked up there own and I just can't find them?  If someone
could point me in the right direction or at least tell me I'm
barking up the wrong tree, please do so.

Something with more capabilities than tbl would be ideal, and certainly
something that doesn't require recompiling the typesetter because
of too many text blocks (I have blown up tbl numerous times).  Very
important would be support for good multi-page tables (i.e. reports).

Thanking all in advance,
Lonnie
