I am looking for troff macros (preferably a modification of the ms
macros) that support multicolumn pages which can revert to single
column in the middle of a page. The multiple columns should be
adjusted to the same length.

There is a macro package from Bell called mcp that supports
this feature. However, mcp is not supported by Bell and has
never been documented. Also from Bell are the packages msoft
and mjacm that also support the above feature. The msoft and
mjacm packages are also not supported or documented. All these packages
from Bell have some additional useful macros for placing figures
at specified positions on a page.

Is there anybody out there using the above mentioned packages
from Bell ?
Is there any informal documentation available ?
Does anybody have original packages that support the features
discussed above ?
