Oh, I can't wait to see what that example does! Does it show that I
am not recalling correctly? I hope so.
The example, though, doesn't result in a pdf file for me when I put it
into a file, "test.tex", and run "texexec --pdf test".

This isn't so obvious, IMHO. I tried to do the same thing back in
1998 or 1999 to create a directory for a college. I made the glue
between the boxes very stretchable, so that context would be able to
put as much space as necessary between the directory entries in order
to have the columns line up at the bottom.

columns, from an implementation standpoint, are not easy at all in
tex. It has to do with subtleties in the page output routine that I

Some months ago another columns implementation came out, but if I
recall correctly, when you have columns of vboxes separated by very
stretchy glue, the new columns implementation can't bottom-align them
either.

On a hunch I put curly braces around the second argument to

[NTG-context] double-lined Z for meaning "integers"
Hi. I am having trouble finding the right incantation for summoning the correct Z. There are some doubly-lined versions of N, Z, Q, and R, that are used often to signify the sets of natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, and reals, respectively. Does anyone know how to get those? Here's a pic of the Z and Q.

(This is really just an inference of mine.) * context has never worked for me in debian, and submitting a bug report looks hopeless, given the long length of the bug list. I haven't checked in a long time, though. * I wasn't able to use the "equivs" package to get the debian packaging system to accept my own tetex installation, so I could not install, e.g., the docbook-xsl-st package. * finally, I settled on this: install the debian tetex packages but don't use them directly. Also install teTeX from source in /opt, and set my PATH so that when I say texexec I get the real tetex and not debian's broken tetex.
