Hi Lukas,

Due to the fact, that I am a  user of CONTEXT during spare time,  it
is sometimes somewhat difficult to give immediate reactions....

As I understand your mail you intend to prepare 5 sections, each consisting
out of 4 sheets of paper each sheet of paper carrying 2 pages on both sides.
A section has 16 pages.

THIS IS NO PROBLEM! Context resolves that for you!

Please refer to the attached sample-file. After compilation you will have
two sample sections...

I hope this will be of help. Kind regards Willi
