Table: horizontal border lines, but not everywhere

Table: horizontal border lines, but not everywhere

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi,

How can I create something like:

-----------------------------------
Row 1  Row 2  Row 3  Row 4  Row 5
-------------       -------
Row 1  Row 2  Row 3  Row 4  Row 5
------       --------------
Row 1  Row 2  Row 3  Row 4  Row 5
COL 4a ----------------------------
Row 1  Row 2  Row 3  Row 4  Row 5
-----------------------------------

Best would be if the Row1-Col4a-Row1 part be one cell (since it prevents
the need to hyphenate oneself; I haven't tried \LOW yet since I my main
problem is the rules between the table rows.

I tried \DL \DC \DL[4] \DR to get:

Time  Mo Tu We Th Fr
----     -----------

But it produces errors. Using \DL \DC \DL \DL \DL \DL \DR doesn't
produce errors, but it doen't work either (wrong output).

This has to do with the fact that \omits and \spans are interfering and
that's about the worst part of tex once you try to write macros -) 

How about the following, awful sequence of commands:

\setupTABLE[frame=off,width=3em]
\setupTABLE[c][each][align={middle,lohi}]
\setupTABLE[r][1,4][topframe=on]
\setupTABLE[r][3,4][bottomframe=on]
\setupTABLE[1,4][2][topframe=on,bottomframe=on]
\setupTABLE[2][2][topframe=on]
\setupTABLE[3][2][bottomframe=on]

\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD1/1\eTD                \bTD1/2\eTD \bTD1/3\eTD \bTD1/4\eTD
\bTD1/5\eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD2/1\eTD                \bTD2/2\eTD \bTD2/3\eTD \bTD2/4\eTD
\bTD2/5\eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD[nr=2]3/1 34/1 4/1\eTD \bTD3/2\eTD \bTD3/3\eTD \bTD3/4\eTD
\bTD3/5\eTD \eTR
\bTR                            \bTD4/2\eTD \bTD4/3\eTD \bTD4/4\eTD
\bTD4/5\eTD \eTR
\eTABLE

I hope you don't hate me for this -)
