Thanks all for your speedy replies (some off-list).
All solutions offered work OK and are basically the same: Make separate
hboxes and collect them in a vbox.
Hans, why do I have to use \endgraf ?
The TeX-book says that \par and \endgraf are basically the same but if I
use
\par it results in an error-message, \endgraf does not.
The left and righthand footer are now aligned on the bottom. How can I
align
them on the top?
