I'm writing indexes in LaTeX but I'm bothered by two things:

1. If an \item with several \subitems get pagebroken somewhere in the
\subitems, no "<item> (Continued)" is written on the next page.

2. The index is set in two columns but the columns are not balanced on
the last page, ie the left column always goes all the way down, even
if the right column is just a few lines.

Has anyone written a .sty which fixes these things?
I know there are hints in The TeXbook for doing exactly this, but I'd
rather not port to LaTeX if it already has been done.

Another matter: has anyone written a .sty which will make
*three*-column output?
