Thanks for the fast answer. But is that a no??

And about columns acting on the whole page, at least the beta manual
give the impression that one can use it on parts of a page.

I'm currently using
\texrule{Header}
\startcolumns
\starttabulate \stoptabulate
\stopcolumns
\texrule{Header}
\startcolumns
\starttabulate \stoptabulate
\stopcolumns

on one page, and the textrules use the whole page, just like I expected.
I just checked this with text, but the behaviour is the same, text
before or after columns is using the whole page width...

So, what exactly does "columns acts on the whole page" mean?

Thanks for this answer I'll try it.

And: thanks for context! I love it, and use it to create "presentable"
pdf reports from databases. A joy to use.
