OUTLEN controls the line length, thus controlling the right margin to stop at the
sixty-fifth character space.
SECT controls page numbering. In this example, the page numbering is
turned off.
CENTER centers the next two lines of text.
NEED keeps a specified number of text lines on the same page. This NEED
command specifies that the entire table must appear on the same page.
BOX encloses the table within a box.
