Heh.  I couldn't wait to try out KW's TRST table stuff, so I grabbed
the patch ... seems to apply/build OK on FreeBSD 2.2.8-STABLE.

And a great big THANK YOU go to Klaus ...!

I can actually make use of some of the stat/standings/score tables,
that sports-related sites are fond of putting up (see a couple of
examples below ... the difference is as night is to day).

So my initial reaction is pretty much one of elation (though with all
of KW's caveats/etc in his README comments, I'm sure that there will
be room for improvements down the line ... but for now, WOW!)


One option that I would like to see already ... :-) ...:

Right now it seems like any table that is processed by the TRST code,
is centered on the screen (as below).  Would it be possible to make
that optional ... I'd much prefer having the resulting output left
justified?


Now to go build a "proper" version, with my local hacks, and the ssl
patch applied ...

Thanks again, Klaus <applause> <applause> <applause> !!!
