 Should be able to bottom-justify cells.  It'll be expensive, though, by
 requiring an extra metrics call.
 
-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
-thin borders.  (i.e., on a thick bordered table that's longer than one page,
-but narrow, the bottom border would be thin on the first page, and the top and
-bottom borders on middle pages.)

-Support multi-line titles on tables. (For the first page only, presumably.)

-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.

-Fix som_columns().

-Improve interactivity of output by allowing a `commit' function for a page.
-This will also allow for infinite-length pages.

 SELECT IF should be moved before other transformations whenever possible.  It
 should only be impossible when one of the variables referred to in SELECT IF is
 created or modified by a previous transformation.

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

-results after the first NUL.  This should simplify the result of PSPP design.
-Perhaps those ugly a_string, b_string, ..., can all be eliminated.

 From Moshe Braner <address@hidden>: An idea regarding MATCH
 FILES, again getting BEYOND the state of SPSS: it always bothered me that if I
 have a large data file and I want to match it to a small lookup table, via
