I'm preparing a paper in two column format, and I'm having issues with
footnotes in one column affecting the text in the other column because the
text in the other column stops at the same spot as the text in the column
with the footnote rather than typsetting down to the bottom of the page.
For example, I am currently getting:
blah, blah, blah1 yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer
------
1 footnote text
here. footnote
text here.
footnote text here.
Instead of this (which I want)
blah, blah, blah1 yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer
blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer
------ yammer, yammer, yammer
1 footnote text yammer, yammer, yammer
here. footnote yammer, yammer, yammer
text here. yammer, yammer, yammer
footnote text here. yammer, yammer, yammer
How can this be done? I've tried playing with the various setup commands
for columns and footnotes, but nothing seems to work. Any help is
appreciated.

Hi William,
I do not know whether I can make you happy ...
I played with the following setup, which gives a comparable result,
though it needs some manual actions:
\starttext
\startcolumnset[n=2]
\startlocalfootnotes[n=0]
text with footnotes\footnote{a tip}
text
text
\placelocalfootnotes
\column
text
text
text
text
text
\stoplocalfootnotes
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext

Well, that's sort of OK if you only have one or two footnotes and can
fiddle with the manual placement of the footnotes. What I want is for the
columns in the document to flow around the footnotes automatically
througout the entire document. If you look at the following two
(essentially the same) PDFs:
http://www.cs.unm.edu/~wneumann/files/HORSE-ctx.zip
http://www.cs.unm.edu/~wneumann/files/HORSE-ltx.zip
you can see what I am trying to achieve. The second file (prepared with
Latex) flows automatically around the footnotes on pages 1 and 3, while
the first file (prepared with Context) does not, subsequently looking
awkward (if not ugly) and wasting valuable space. does anyone know how to
acheive the flow of the Latex processed paper?
Thanks for the suggestion though, I do appreciate the help.
