%% PURPOSE:   Balanced columns on last page in twocolumn mode.
%%
%% SHORT DESCRIPTION:
%%
%% \flushend (loaded by default)
%% ---------
%%   Switches on column balancing at last page
%%
%% \raggedend
%% ----------
%%   Switches off column balancing at last page
%%
%% \atColsBreak={#1}
%% ------------------
%%   Adds #1 in place of original column break (without balancing)
%%   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}.
%%      Example: \vskip-10pt
