"%" in tablemaker data

[Ed Griffiths]

Dave,

I see what's happening here, its a glitch introduced a long time ago by the
introduction of the aceIO package which works a little differently from the
freeXXX package which preceded it.

I need to untangle the % stuff in a way that will work, it should be fixed in
the next monthly release, if you need it sooner let me know.

cheers Ed
