I think you can send the tables to fPtech and get it removed
(for a fee).

Look at the table with 'less' or 'hd' or 'file' or something
else to see if it was saved encoded.  It it was saved with
ABE=ASCII in the environment it will be in text that you can
edit with 'vi' or your faviorite text editor.  In that case,
edit the first line to remove everything after the 3rd colon,
and your problem is solved.

I know you can buy John Esak's DocGen (as edited by Jean-Pierre
Radley) from Jean-Pierre Radley (a good thing to have).  

I have a _free_ program that reads files (of all descriptions,
including DocGen output) that pretty-well outputs a processing
table from an "If:-Then:" doc file.

PS - Have ABE=ASCII set in the environment for everyone to
     prevent this from happening again.
