Solution of my own question, for who is interesting.
Description:
The next patch enables to define intercolumn gaps in Natural Table
(bTABLE...eTABLE) environment.
Features:
- one can distinguish the amounts of first (colsepfirst), inner
(colsepbetween), and last (colseplast) gaps.
- patch operates for both 'fit' or 'stretch' table options.
- gaps has no 'background' you have to use external one.
Example:
http://typokvitek.com/tmp/nattab-colskip.pdf
Usage:
\bTABLE[colsepbetween=2cm,colsepfirst=.3cm,colseplast=.5cm]
\bTR
\bTD A\eTD\bTD B\eTD\bTD C\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
Enjoy it,

[Fwd: Re: [NTG-context] Problems with Natural Tables]
Hello Hans, (I guess you are the only person who can specify your previous answer), so please, is the file 'core-ntb-new.tex' somewhere available? Actually what I want. I have plenty of natural tables. If I want to make closer interline space between table lines the only way I know is to make smaller value of offset param. But after that, columns are too close together (framed object as a core of natural table does not distinguish between vertical and horizontal offsets). So bellow mentioned \setupTABLE[c][1][distance=2em] would be nice solution. So ones more, is the new code available? Thank you in advance for the answer.

That is needed improvement of natural tables, thanks Hans.

- In my vz-new.tex is another simple improvement of nat tables. Perhaps
it can be also incorporated:
--
\long\def\parseTH[#1]#2\eTH
{\parseTD[#1,\c!color=\tbltblheadcolor,\c!style=\tbltblheadstyle,
\c!align=\tbltblheadalign,\c!aligncharacter=\v!no]#2\eTD}
--
See additional
\c!align=\tbltblheadalign
- and what about nc=max? = Span as much as columns as there are to the
end of line.

Hello ConTeXters,
my girlfriend writes her dimploma thesis now and I talked her into
using ConTeXt, but now I'm not sure anymore that this was the right
thing to do. So, the problems are numerous and some of them are:
- how do I set the spacing between a vertical line (between two
columns) and the text inside that columns? I already used
framedoffest=-3pt, but the output is unacceptable.
- how do I center the whole table? This one is really crucial: my GF
also accepts hacks ;).
- why doesn't \splitfloat{\placetable...} work with Natural Tables?
(They won't get splitted at all, but with tables and linetables it
works...)
- how do I refer to tables then?
I have chosen Natural Tables because they were the only one that
splitted correctly (tables and linetables let out 2/3 of a page). So,
that's all for now.
we need small examples showing/solving the problems
