Re: columns in framedtext

[Hans van der Meer <hansm@science.uva.nl>]

I had already experimented with simplecolumns, because these can be  
placed within framed and at first did seem to do the trick.
But the problem I then encountered -- and could not see how to  
correct that -- is balancing of the columns, both at normal  
linespacing and with fixed lineskip.
The bottomline of the columns is not consistently comeing out straight.
It is then also difficult to get the whitespace above and below at  
equal size.
Is there a solution?

yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer
