   I too am working with this problem.  I recently received (through the
courtesy of Guy Harris @ Sun) table.c and elbat.c and the support stuff
that comes with it.  I set things up in what appears to be a perfectly
reasonable fashion, but when I use the table generated, it takes what
should be a ~~13K output file and turns it to something more like 2-5K,
max, usually shorter (2-300 bytes) of mostly either 0x30's or 0x00's.

   What the )(*&^)*(&^(*&^*(&^*(&^*(&^(*&^*( am I doing wrong????????
