The warpcol package defines a tabular column type for formatting numerical columns in LaTeX. The column type enables numerical items to be right justified relative to each other, while centred beneath the column label. In addition, macros are provided to enable variations on this column type to be defined. Usage of the package is superficially similar to that of dcolumn; however, the alignment scheme is different, and the packages have different, though overlapping, applications. The key differences are: (1) dcolumn is based on decimal alignment, and can align numbers with varying numbers of decimal places; and (2) warpcol handles items that are not simple numbers (e.g. '< 0.001' and '$100,000'). The files associated with the package are: warpcol.dtx Doc-source file containing the package and documentation warpcol.sty Package file, pre-unpacked from the above warpcol.ins Installation batch file for unpacking the package The documentation for the package can be generated by typing: pdflatex warpcol.dtx Wayne A.
