Thanks, Yuva. Early days yet, so there will be bugs. Let me know quickly if anyone hits problems. Or if you think of a new user-button we ought not to be without. Discussion is at bottom of http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/IanClark/TABULA As I write up intruguing investigations, I shall make the ttables available as downloads.
J701 will lead to a whole new html-based interface. This will make server operation attractive. I'm keen to learn how to embed a working ttable in a wiki page.
