I don't have personal exposure to DELL's DWB, but most DWB eqns support -T options so that eqn can adjust its placement heuristics for the output device. Try: tbl file | eqn -Tpost | troff -Tpost | dpost > out.ps [Though, even CAT troff eqn doesn't screw up "a over b", and *that* eqn doesn't know about width tables. Not using a macro package may have something to do with it too.] -- Chris Lewis; clewis@ferret.ocunix.on.ca; Phone: Canada 613 832-0541 Psroff 3.0 info: psroff-request@ferret.ocunix.on.ca Ferret list: ferret-request@ferret.ocunix.on.ca
