Still wrestling with multiplication tables

Still wrestling with multiplication tables

Hello again,

So I decide to try with tables:

  \starttable[|m|m|m|m|m|m|m|m|m|]
    \NC \VL I\NC R\NC R^2\NC R^3\NC F\NC FR\NC FR^2\NC FR^3\AR
    \HL
    \NC I \VL I\NC R\NC R^2\NC R^3\NC F\NC FR\NC FR^2\NC FR^3\NR
    \NC R\VL R\NC R^2\NC R^3\NC I\NC FR\NC FR^2\NC FR^3\NC F\NR
    \NC R^2\VL R^2\NC R^3\NC I\NC R\NC FR^2\NC FR^3\NC F\NC FR\NR
    \NC R^3\VL R^3\NC I\NC R\NC R^2\NC FR^3\NC F\NC FR\NC FR^2\NR
    \NC F\VL F\NC FR^3\NC FR^2\NC FR\NC I\NC R^3\NC R^2\NC R\NR
    \NC FR\VL FR\NC F\NC FR^3\NC FR^2\NC R\NC I\NC R^3\NC R^2\NR
    \NC FR^2\VL FR^2\NC FR\NC F\NC FR^3\NC R^2\NC R\NC I\NC R^3\NR
    \NC FR^3\VL FR^3\NC FR^2\NC FR\NC F\NC R^3\NC R^2\NC R\NC I\NR
  \stoptable

This almost works, yet in the pdf output ("texexec"), there's an extra
column at the right full of "[missing column]".  What's going on here?

Actually, so far the best I've managed to do was to whip up a plain basic
array, and then insert two lines with TiKZ.  Clumsy, but so far it's the
only thing I've got to work...

The syntax for tables is

\NC ... \NC ...\NC \NR


You are missing the last \NC

Yay - that works beautifully!  (Even better if I finish each row with
\NC\AR).

Thanks,
