Hello Tom, Thanks for using my little program!
I don't know much about the man/nroff format, but maybe tables are not supported at all in Solaris/HP-UX nroff? Or if they use a different tag for tables, which that could be? If you could send me an example of a working table on those systems, I can try to include in txt2tags.
