hi!
I have a tabular environement within a minipage.  When I use
\footnote with that tabular environement, latex generates alphabetic
subscripts for the footnotes (a, b, ...).  However, if within
the same tabular, I use \footnotemark, I get numerical subscripts (1, 2, ...).

Is there a way to generate alphabetic subscripts using \footnotemark within
the tabular as above.

(I need it 'cos I'm trying to reference the same footnote at various
entries in the table.)

Thanks.
