%
% \raggedend
% ----------
%   Switches off column balancing at last page
%
% \atColsBreak={#1}
% ------------------

%   Example: \atColsBreak{\vskip-2pt}
%
% \showcolsendrule
% ----------------
%   Adds rule to the bottom of columns (just for debugging)
%
% P.S. To stretch right column by #1 add command \vskip-#1 just before
%      command \end{document}.
%      TO shrink right column by #1 add command \vskip#1 just before
%      command \end{document}.
