I have a list of names and addresses that I wish to print in a three column
format as shown below.

Name 1			Name 2			Name 3
Address line 1		Address line 1		Address line 1
Address line 2		Address line 2		Address line 2
Address line 3					Address line 3

Name 4			Name 5
Address line 1		Address line 1

** NOTE: the number of address lines is not the same for all names.

While I can use one of the multicolumn styles (i.e. threecolumn or
multicol), the "name" lines won't necessarily line up. Ideally, I would like
to have a vertical equivalent to the "mbox" command.  That is, a command
that would let me specify the width AND the number of lines. Then I could
use the "vbox" command with one of the multicolumn styles.

Any ideas,

	thanks.
