I think that there are convienient macros for multi-column formatting
in the HPTeX software (essentially a set of neato add-on macros to
Plain TeX).  You would say something like \begincolumns 3 to get three
columns on a page, followed by an \endcolumns.  They also have something
like a \balance command to fix all the columns done so far for chapter
headings or such.
