The enclosed demo of a Quark XPress Xtension was distributed by SWIP
Handels AG, the Swiss distributor of QuarkXPress. Please note that
SWIP takes no responsibility for the demo - they just made it
available to all QuarkXPress users here.

I myself have no connection with SWIP, Quark, or the author(s) of the
enclosed Xtension. Following below is the part of the description
from the "Readme"-file. The archive is compressed using CompactPro
1.34.

The Shortline Eliminator extension to QuarkXPress automates the task
of detecting and correcting paragraphs with a short last line. The
dialog at the right shows the Shortlline Eliminator interface.

When a paragraph with a short last line is detected the Shortline
Eliminator adjusts the paragraph tracking by the amount you indicate.

You specify what constitutes a short last line in terms of character
count and/or a hyphenated last word. You control how the tracking of
the paragraph may be altered to eliminate the short last line.
