Unfortunately, this is wrong. The problem is that when you invoke
@Table, you already have some text on the current page (usually). This
means that the place for the table at the top(!) of this page was
already flushed (for text is forced into its target, causing non
attached targets to be replaced with @Null). Lout then search for the
next target that can accept the table and find it at the top of the
next page.

The problem Byron refers to is that @Table is always on the top of the
page (next page, usually) and you cannot change this:

        @Table -> @TablePlace&&following (that belongs to)
        @BeginTables -> @TopPlace&&following

What he wants is non floating tables (with captions and numbers, not
just @Tab in a @CD). I'm going to post the shell archive with my code
for immediate tables as a separate letter.


Best regards!
