[Fwd: Re: Problems with Natural Tables]

[Vit Zyka <vit.zyka@seznam.cz>]

Hello Hans,

(I guess you are the only person who can specify your previous answer),
so please, is the file 'core-ntb-new.tex' somewhere available?

Actually what I want. I have plenty of natural tables. If I want to make 
closer interline space between table lines the only way I know is to 
make smaller value of offset param. But after that, columns are too 
close together (framed object as a core of natural table does not 
distinguish between vertical and horizontal offsets). So bellow mentioned
   \setupTABLE[c][1][distance=2em]
would be nice solution.

So ones more, is the new code available?

Thank you in advance for the answer.
Vit

I was looking for core-ntb-new.tex or 'distance' in current beta
core-ntb.tex but have not been successful. Please, where I can find it?

Thanks
