This can be done in either of two ways. One is by using a string (not between T{/T}) to define a width. The other is to specify the width in the table specification, using w(3.0i) for a 3 inch column. If you do not specify a width for every column using one of these two conventions, you definitely run into trouble. You can still run into trouble even if you do obey these rules, but it is less probable. All about Informix, and now troff too! Jonathan Leffler (johnl@obelix.informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h>
