By the way, -tabhbar- (SSC) is documented as obsolete given -catplot-
(SSC) in -njc_stuff- (SSC).
Why then is it still available? SSC is an archive, with all that
implies: it contains a lot of old stuff, just in case it is
interesting or useful. Unlike an archive of books, papers and so
forth, storage space is not an issue.
