Announcement text: 
--
This package provides a crude environment
called 'vwcol'for typesetting multicolumn
paragraph text of various column widths on
a single page.

For example,

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\begin{vwcol}[widths={0.3,0.2,0.5}]
  \lipsum[1]
\end{vwcol}
\end{document}

Note again that only paragraph text is
supported at present.

.  More information is at
