Greets to the list,

  I want to achieve a result which looks a like this. 

 1. First clause which might well be | 20. Another column of clauses.  
    more than on of these short      | 21. Another clause. Note that I
    lines.                           |     do not want the clauses to be
 2. Second clause which similarly    |     in a table because they should
    could well be several of these   |     be free flowing in the columns.
    short lines. It would be nice if | 22. More words here.
    these were justified.            | .
.                                    | .    etc. etc.
.                                    | .
19. Last clause in column. Fitted in | 38. The last clause on the page.
    nicely to the size of the page.  |

The vertical line separating the columns is not absolutely essential, but 
it would be nice.

A GUI solution is out of the question simply because there are 
approximately 31,000 clauses to typeset, so please do not suggest
anything which has any of the words 'office', 'processor' or 'word' in its 
name, but I am open to [x|sg]ml suggested solutions

I have tried \tabular inside \multicols but it doesn't want to work. I 
would be very grateful if some LaTeXpert could advise on the \magic 
\incantations to use?

I have a rather old edition of the Latex Companion to hand, but have not 
found any useful suggestions therein.

I am a complete neophyte with LaTeX, please bear with me.


Many thanks.
