Hi.  I am thinking that the time has come for me to use ConTeXt for a
big project.  I need several features at once and eplain and LaTeX are
not able to do them all well at the same time:

      * multicolumns (different numbers of columns on the same page)
      * table of contents (all can do, but conflicts with fancybox,
                quire.tex) 
      * fancy boxes
      * quire collation (for booklet-style pagination but without
                post-processing)

I have the ConTeXt beginners manual in English and the teTeX
installation on Linux.  I would very much appreciate the opportunity
to look at other people's ConTeXt sources, since that's often the
fastest way for me to learn.

Also, any tips on configuring a teTeX installation would be a great
help.
