Often wide tables in books (tabulations of biological data for
example) are set in landscape mode.  Often the page number is in the
normal postion.  I doubt if this is possible with standard LaTeX but
if any one can suggest how to do this I would appreciate it.  Failing
that could I please add this to a TeX wish list.

OzTeX provides a facility to print in landscape mode but all pages of
the document would be thus printed.  Indeed the ability to rotate text
does not seem to be present in LaTeX.

Thanks for reading
