Peter Flynn (CBTS8001%IRUCCVAX.UCC.IE@UWAVM.U.WASHINGTON.EDU) asked in
TeXhax V91 #16:
>A user needs to use twocolumn output in article style, but needs the
>title and abstract full width, above the start of the two column section.
>This is (by observation) the normal layout foir academic articles, but

The problem is that \maketitle doesn't have a provision for an abstract,
and there doesn't appear to be a way (not that I'm any expert) to get
a double-column float (other than the title stuff) onto the title page.
So, I grunged around to see what \maketitle did, and came up with the
following style file. Hope it's of use.
--paulr
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% abstract.sty, generate a one-column abstract in a two-column article.
% Use \abstract{text} like you would \author (i.e. before the \maketitle).
% This works in either onecolumn or twocolumn mode.
% You may want to futz with the sizes and spacing if you have particular
% requirements; f'rinstance, in one-column mode the default LaTeX abstract
% environment puts the "Abstract" and abstract text in \small.
% This style file doesn't claim to meet anybody's format requirements.
% Redefine \abstract to collect the text in a safe place.
\def\abstract#1{\gdef\@abstract{#1}}
% redefine \@maketitle to use the abstract
\let\@oldmaketitle=\@maketitle
\def\@maketitle{\@oldmaketitle
\begin{center} \large\bf Abstract \end{center}
\begin{quotation}\@abstract\end{quotation}
