Amusingly someone sent me a document not that far back with a table in it.
I said "Did you use PIC and TBL with this?"    He admitted he did.    It had
the little tell tail stray overshoots on the vertical lines.   I would have
thought someone would have fixed that in the interim.

When I was getting deployed to Afghanistan, we were given a little laminated card with a "cheat sheet" of important bits of radio protocol on it: how to call for a casualty evacuation, unexploded ordinance (I had to use that one once, btw...), a thing called a MIST report that detailed injuries, etc.

Anyway, something about the fonts and I *knew* it had been written using troff. Of course, we didn't have the source, just the card...so I sat down and recreated it. I printed a whole bunch out, laminated them and gave them to my Marines to hang onto. I probably still have the PIC file laying around my directory somewhere.
