[texhax] Centering "framed box" between two columns

[Peter Wilson]

I have vague recollections of a pullquote package. I haven't found it 
but it might have been described in a TUGboat article. There is my and 
Alan Hoenig's cutwin package which might be of some help but it does not 
directly deal with two-column text.
