I'm not that familiar with the reshape package (and neither it nor 
reshape2 appears to have a vignette to give me an overview), so I don't 
have any idea if that makes sense.  The table package is made to work on 
dataframes, and only dataframes.  It converts them into matrices with 
lots of attributes, so that the print methods can put nice labels on. 
But it's strictly rectangular to rectangular in the kinds of conversions 
it does, and from the little I know about reshape, it works on more 
general arrays, converting them to and from dataframes.

You'll have to give an example of what you want to do.
