 Should be able to bottom-justify cells.  It'll be expensive, though, by

-Perhaps instead of the current lines we should define the following line types:
-null, thin, thick, double.  It might look pretty classy.

-Perhaps thick table borders that are cut off by a page break should decay to

-In addition to searching the source directory, we should search the current

-Fix line-too-long problems in PostScript code, instead of covering them up.

 SELECT IF should be moved before other transformations whenever possible.  It

-NULs in input files break the products we're replacing: although it will input
