I seem to be unable to find out how to make a table in TeX (not LaTeX)
where the entries span rows (spanning columns is easy). For instance, I
want a table of the form:

  -------------------------------------
  |          |         TEST           |
  |   SPAN   |------------------------|
  |          |  TEST2   |  TEST3      |
  -------------------------------------

How do I make "SPAN" come out centred in its box? I imagine that
it is necessary to use \valign, but I can't quite see how.

Does anyone have an example of this sort of table that could be
used as a template?

Thanks,
