Re: Text to be placed into the free space after columns and end of the page

[context@vivaldi.net]

Hello,

at least a short reaction would be appreciated - is it possible to get 
the desired with ConTeXt?

- I need to typeset a column-shaped document with a colofon in the 
bottom of the page, so my interest is not academical but very practical;
and the code presented bellow is a minimalistic version ("abcd" stands 
for colofon).

Best regards,

Lukas
