Fwd: help with xtreme tables

Hi,

I have a table with around 120 rows and 120 columns which fits an A0 
paper. I want it to be split so that it fits A4 sized papers.
When I tried using xtables :

\startxtable[split=repeat,header=repeat]
\startxtablehead
...
\stopxtablehead
\startxtablebody
....
.
.
.
....
\stopxtablebody

the table rows get split into different pages, but the columns get cut 
at the right edge of the page.
Is there a way to split the columns as well (repeating the first column 
as necessary)?

Also, what is the use of grouping rows within \startxtablenext and 
\stopxtablenext?

Note: I am just typing the outline of the code as the cell definitions 
is very long and hopefully my requirement is clear without the entire 
cell definitions.

Thanks,
ajith

 NB: Apologies if you get two copies of this email as I am sending this 
email a second timr as my first attempt appears to have failed

better look at linetables that

\setuplinetable[n=6,lines=40]

% \setuplinetable[c][1]   [width=2cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=red]
% \setuplinetable[c][4] 
[width=3cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow]
% \setuplinetable[c][6] 
[width=3cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=magenta]
% \setuplinetable[r][even][background=color,backgroundcolor=green]

\starttext

\startlinetablehead
     \dorecurse{2}{\dorecurse{5}{\NC head #1 ##1\NC head \NC head \NC 
head \NC head \NC head} \NC \NR}
\stoplinetablehead
\startlinetable
     \dorecurse{2000}{\dorecurse{5}{\NC cell #1 ##1\NC cell \NC cell \NC 
cell \NC cell \NC cell} \NC \NR}
\stoplinetable

\stoptext

a rather old but okay mechanism that splits in two dimensions

Hi,

Is there a way to split the columns as well (repeating the first column
