The table was laid out in TeX, actually the Context version thereof.  Formerly 
it was included in my layout for the newsletter but I took just that section 
and ran it through Context separately. Then I pulled the Postscript  into 
Gimp for a bit of cropping and conversion to tiff. 

I will check the reference you give above. Thanks for your help.
