Group, Hans. Wolfgang, Help PLEASE

I have numerous loooooong tables to publish. attached find minimal example.

I need these tables to mimic \longtables LaTeX package.

I got a recode from Wolfgang using the TABLE module which works well for the
header, footer and TABLEbody however:

I need table caption and tablefoot to state:

table xxxxxx (continue)

Also it would be perfect if the top of the continued page(s) were open and
the footer for the continued page(s) said:

table xxxxxxx (continued)

Is there a way to accomplishe this feat of magic within ConTeXt?

I have tried all I can think of to no avail. I have been on this problem now
for 3 weeks. If no solution then I am afraid that I must resort back to
LaTeX and memoir class. I am truely hoping NOT to go back.

MkII provided subnumbers for splitted tables, this function is not yet rewritten
for MkIV but because Hans hasn’t needed it so far. Although you provided a example
it wasn’t minimal enough for a test.

Here is a minimal example for Hans, which shows correct numbering for split tables
which is currently wrong for MkIV:

\setuppapersize[A7][A7]

\starttext

\placetable
  [split]
  {Test 1}
  {\bTABLE
   \dorecurse{20}{\bTR\bTD #1 \eTD\eTR}
   \eTABLE}

\placetable
  {Test 2}
  {\bTABLE
   \bTR\bTD 1 \eTD\eTR
   \eTABLE}

\stoptext
