Hi all.
I apologise for misleading tuhs, pm does not do paragraph at a time formatting; memory is
not what it used to be.
It does have some interesting ideas nonetheless - and I have been inspired to try it
again.
The code and macros should be here:

[I haven't been able to check as i am on holiday]
The paper describing it is here:

I cannot find this? I only found occurrences of the macro
package, which seems to adjust some -ms macro for better vertical
stretching and widow avoidance? Also nice, but not a generic
approach.
