! 66: .\" The tbl utility, a preprocessor for troff, was originally written by M.
! 67: .\" E. Lesk at Bell Labs in 1975.
! 68: .\" The GNU reimplementation of tbl, part of the groff package, was released
! 69: .\" in 1990 by James Clark.
! 70: .\" A standalone tbl implementation was written by Kristaps Dzonsons in
! 71: .\" 2010.
! 72: .\" This formed the basis of the implementation that is part of the
! 73: .\" .Xr mandoc 1
! 74: .\" utility.
