I was testing this document by having a friend print it out on a nice
printer using troff.  Since I have very limited printing capabilities
here, I've only printed out small sections using nroff anytime lately.

Clued by a message from Michel Adam, I decided to check to see
if the tables came out correctly with nroff, and guess what?
Some are too long to fit on an 80-column page.

This is an "expensive" (~66 pages nroff, ~43 troff) document to print,
so I'd recommend to anybody who is limited to an 80-character width printer
and nroff to wait until I have a chance to try to fix this, and we get
the fixed version in the archives.
