Forgive me if this has been addressed in the past!  I'm trying to put out a
group of tables in troff with tbl piped into it.  I am using reduced print
(.ps 6 and .S 6 OR .ps 8 and .S 8) and am trying to print multiple tables
of 2-4 columns wide side by side.  Occasionally it works and occasionally
it doesn't.  The tables vary in length preventing combining into 1 table.
Each table easily fits on its half of the page, but it refuses to print
next to the other table(s).  Is there a series of macros I can use to FORCE
the printing of the 2-column tables?  Any solution(s) would be appreciated!

Thanks much!
