automatic tables...

Hi Hans, hi all

Currently I am trying out the atomatic tables (\bTABLE ... \eTABLE).

It took me some exercise to find out why I did not get the expected
results. - I believe that there is a bug in this module. - According to my
sample file the alignment works reveresed i.e. left alignment results in
right alignment and vice versa.

In fact I saw it already in the up-to-date 2000/8 but there I was confused
by the 'background=crossed' on pages 13 and 14. - So what does
background=crossed?

Best regards Willi

this is due to the fact that in context 'right' means raggedright which is
left aligned -) 

in the beta you can say \@@asraggedfalse [obscure name to prevent misuse]
and and get the opposite behavior.
