\NC \FR and \NC \LR

you need to finish the column

i had to look that one up in thrd-tab -)

it sets a token list

\unprotect [\the\!taTableSpread] \protect

This is a better definition than the orginal TaBlE one:

\def\SetTableToWidth#1%
  {\doifelsenothing{#1}{\!taTableSpread\emptytoks}{\!taTableSpread{to #1}}}

colors in those tables are a bit of a hack; i need to reimplement this 
(i.e. merge the original and the patches) aftwr which i can improve the 
code
