Problems with tables in reference "man" pages

[Mike Cooper <Mike.Cooper@reshape.com>]

I've written my first UNIX man page in docbook refence format.  It has an 
informaltable in it.  When I convert it to a formated man ASCII text file using 
docbook2man (docbook-utils v0.6.12 and openjade 1.3.1 or 1.3.2), the table is 
unreadable.

Here's the sgml:

<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN" [
<!ENTITY mc "<trademark>MagniComp</trademark>">
<!ENTITY si "<trademark>SysInfo</trademark>">
]>

Is there a better tool for converting docbook to man which works with tables?
