Upon further study I find that text blocks, as useful as they are, are
**not** necessary for combining tbl and eqn.
The keys to this combination are explained in page 16 of the tbl
technical discussion in the book "UNIX (R) System V Documentor's
Workbench User's Guide" printed by Prentice Hall. This book is part of
the AT&T UNIX (R) System V series.
The most important issue in getting eqn and tbl to work together seems to
be the relative order in which they are invoked. The book states that
eqn should **always** be invoked after tbl on files which have equations
inside tables.
i.e
tbl foo.text | eqn | troff -mm
The example used in the book, which only works with the order shown above,
is:
.EQ
delim $$
.EN
.TS
doublebox;
c c
l l.

Gamma $GAMMA (z) = int sub 0 sup inf t sup {z-1} e sup -t dt$
Sine $sin (x) = 1 over 2i ( e sup ix - e sup -ix )$
Error $roman erf (z) = 2 over sqrt pi int sub 0 sup z e sup {-t sup 2} dt$
Bessel $J sub 0 (z) = 1 over pi int sub 0 sup pi cos (z sin theta )d theta $
Zeta $ zeta (s) = sum from k=1 to inf k sup -s ~~( Re~s > 1)$

Sorry for the earlier misinformation.
