This is a request for information I received once
before but lost.  Please be kind enough to help me
out once more.

We use tbl to produce outlined tables in text.
Files are first processed by tbl, then sent to psroff
which finally outputs to a DataProducts laser printer.

Here is the problem.  The vertical lines in the table
do not meet flush with the horizontal lines.  At the top
of the table, the vertical lines fall just short of the
top-most horizontal line.  On the bottom, the vertical lines
overshoot the bottom-most horizontal line.

If I remember correctly, this has something to do with
the pipe character (|) being used for drawing the vertical
lines instead of doing it some other way.  What is the
fix for this?

Thanks in advance!
