I do not have a route to him.  Please forward or post as
you feel appropriate.

The problem with tbl and transcript is that the vertical rule
and box rule characters (br and vr) are given nonzero widths
in the psc font definitions.  This also causes problems with
the box command in troff.

The solution is to change afmdit.awk to include them both
as created processes, include the following two lines in the
process list
   proc["br"] = cc++ " 0 0"    # box rule (vertical)
   proc["vr"] = cc++ " 0 0"    # vertical rule
and change psdit.pro to have the following definitions,
   (br) {ocb 0 -.80 dm moveto 0 ditsiz rlineto stroke oce}def
   (vr) {ocb 0 -.80 dm moveto 0 .77 dm rlineto stroke oce}def

It might be necessary to tune these some more, they work at
normal font sizes but I have not tried them at the very large
ones.
