st: RE: RE: Column widths in -tab- or including row percentages in -table-

["David Radwin" <dradwin@mprinc.com>]

Tim,

If you could live with column percentages instead of row percentages (and
rearrange your table accordingly), you could use -tablecol- by Nick
Winter, available from SSC. It gives you the flexibility of -table- plus
column percentages.

There are other user-written programs for creating tables in Excel, LaTeX,
HTML, etc., particularly Ian Watson's -tabout- (SSC), that might give you
row percentages and other features.
