I was reading a note just now about man pages, and a thought occurred to 
me, so I'll ask it while it's still resident in my brain...the man pages 
that require tbl processing don't seem to work right.  I think I've found 
the culprit, but I'm not sure of the fix.  My example for this is the 
math.3 man page, it's got a tbl table near the start of it.

tbl handles it fine, but man runs it through col, and col seems to eat 
all the nice spacing that tbl has constructed for it.  I don't really use 
col, so I have copied it to col.orig and linked cat over it.  Is there a 
better fix?

Just to make sure my question stack is empty, does anyone remember the 
fix to get tk/tcl working right?  I have d/l'ed the new tk/tcl (4.0xxx),
but it dies in the math library.  I do remember why, I don't remember the 
fix....does anyone else?A
