No, and it's really expensive.

The complete package costs $69

Since I use the table macros very often, I bought it, it costed me $69
plus $20 shipping. It's a good manual with lots of examples, which
aren't very abvious if you just read the source-file table.tex
There's a promotion at the moment! See

Hi nicolai,

AFAIK there is no paragraph mechanism in de TaBlE environment. You might 
want to try the bTABLE eTABLE environment.

Kind regards Willi

My problem is that I want a paragraph environment in a column, but that
doesn't seem to exist/work.  In tabulate you can use 'p' in the
template, and table doesn't complain when you use it but doesn't obide
by it either.  Am I missing something, for
\starttable[|l|l|]
\NC Something \NC Long description ... \NC\AR
\stoptable
makes for a very wide table (that goes off the paper).

You need the printed manual for the TaBlE package, which will
suggest something alone the lines:

\starttable[|l|lp(120pt)|]
\NC Something \NC Long description ... \input tufte \NC\AR
\stoptable
