Package balance:
Balanced two-column mode.

When writing a document with LaTeX two-column mode, the columns on the last page, or those before a \cleardoublepage command, will be of unequal height. The package solves this problem by modifying the output routines in two-column mode.

The package is part of the preprint bundle.
