Hi Hans,

;-) Well at the moment I'm really under pressure, but you seem to be under
pressure as well.
(Here the question was asked: LaTeX is still more stable, isn't it? And I
have the feeling that this is not completely wrong ...)

It does  :-)

here comes one. By the way the time problem applies also to me ...
but I hope that I can work around that problem.

Example:
--------------
\bTABLE
\bTR
 \bTH foo \eTH
 \bTH This is a very, very, very really long cell \eTH
\eTR
\bTR
 \bTD[nc=2] This is also a very, very, very really long combined cell\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\bye
----------------
The first column is very wide, but need to be if the text of the [nc=2]
cell would also be shown under the second column.
