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.) -- Nirad Sharma (exnirad@brolga.cc.uq.oz.au) Phone : (61 7) 365 7575 Systems Programmer Fax : (61 7) 870 5080 Continuing Education Unit The University of Queensland.
