software tools question

[WU SHI-KUEI]

With System V by far the easiest solution to including a table in multiple
documents is to process the table source with 'tbl', redirecting the output
to a file which can be included anywhere.  I.e.:

	tbl table1.src > table1.fmt
	tbl table2.src > table2.fmt

In the text source:

	blah blah blah
	.so table1.fmt
	more blah blah blah
	.so table2.fmt

There is no need for any other software tools (At least with 'mm' or any 
of the other System V text formatting tools).
