+DESCRIPTION
+Task \fBtable\fR reads a list of strings from the standard input or a 
+list of files and assembles a nicely formatted table.  If reading 
+from multiple input files, make a separate table for each.  There is no 
+fixed limit to the size of the table which can be formatted.  The table 
+is not sorted; this should be done as a separate operation if desired.
+.ih
+EXAMPLES
+1. Format a file containing names into a two column table.  The table is 
+sorted alphabetically first.
