How to view the output of a boxed table on a crt or line printer:

[wa371]

I recently asked for help in viewing the output of tbl(1) on a crt or line
printer.  My difficulty was that vertical lines of a boxed table were being
printed AFTER the rest of the table.  Additionally a flock of control
characters were giving my terminal hiccups.
After experimenting with various suggestions (thanks, everyone) I found 
that the following command seems to give the cleanest results (under 4.2bsd):
	 'tbl filename | nroff -ms | colcrt | more'

Somewhat verbose, unfortunately.
