Hi Hans!

I'm typesetting an algorithms course in C++ and I came around to few bugs
and personal wishes :)

1. I've "written" a verb-cpp.tex which knows C++ keywords. However, as you'll
   see from the attached example, it needs a few fixes:
   - the missing word if it ends with & (the bar& x argument)
   - & coloured in green alongside y (it should be grey since it's an operator)
   - &, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, >>=, <<=, ->*, .* should be coloured like operators
     and must be considered as single tokens
   - I'd like the whole comment in a single color (not red start/end and
     black text). dark green would be ideal :)

Since I know nothing about verbatim mechanism (I just took java environment
and stuffed it with C++ keywords) how hard would it be to make those changes?
I put '\input verb-cpp' into verb-ini.tex to make it work in my local
installation.

2. As you can see from the example, I want to typeset text next to code.
   However, the footnotes within are not working. (context ver. 2002.10.23)

3. Multi-column paragraphs are not automatically broken across pages. If
   the paragraph doesn't fit on the current page, it will be moved to the
   next page leaving an ugly empty box at the bottom of the previous page.
   How can I achieve an effect similar to the attached example, but that will
   automatically break across pages not leaving empty boxes at the bottom?

4. Some time ago I reported \pseudoencodedDJ macros not working in itemize
   environment and you posted a fix to the list. Did you integrate the
   fix in the latest release?

Thanks for your time!
