Go to the directory containing the rpms and type
rpm -qilp *rpm | grep gtbl
This gives the output of
/usr/bin/gtbl
/usr/man/man1/gtbl.1
So, you can see if there is an rpm containing this program
Now if you type
rpm -qif `rpm -qilp *rpm | grep gtbl`
you get

So, you see the rpm which contains the file /usr/bin/gtbl
