<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Can you give an example of a file to reproduce the problem?
Possibly</div>
<div>this has been fixed in eplain 281.</div>
<div>However, almost 3 years ago (see below), I mentioned another
bug</div>
<div>related to \doublecolumns for which to my knowledge no fix
appeared</div>
<div>so far.</div>
