Fax document style. Generates a letter style document, with a time
stamped cover sheet, and appropriate headers and footers for using
LaTeX for facsimile document preparation. Optionally, will insert a
postscript signature at the end of the document. (The scanned
signature should be 1 in. by 2.5 in., see fax.sty for details.)

Requires Piet van Oostrum's fancyheadings.sty, available by anonymous
ftp from the CTAN tex-archives. The headers and footers have provision
for including document control id's. The rcs.sty package, written by
Joachim Schrod, also available from the CTAN archive, works well when
using RCS (available by anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu in
/pub/gnu) as a document control system.

Fax.sty is a modification to letter.sty, by Leslie Lamport, and is
available from the CTAN tex-archives in the standard distribution for
LaTeX. The diff's, letter-fax.diff, are supplied. See the source for
usage and template.

Letterhead.sty generates first fax page header and footers, and was
derived from "A Guide to LaTeX," Helmut Kopka and Patrick W. Daly,
Addison-Wesly, 1993, pp. 231-243. See the source for usage and
template.

Fax.sty and letterhead.sty, along with rcs.sty, fancyheadings.sty, and
dvips have been used extensively with Ed Casas' efax package,
available from by anonymous ftp to sunsite.unc.edu in
/pub/Linux/apps/comm. (Efax is quite portable, and is known to compile
on AIX 3.2.4, BSD, IRIX 5.2, NeXT, OSF/1V1.3, SunOS 4.1.1/4.1.3, SCO
3.2.0, SysVR4.2, ULTRIX and should work with minor changes on any
modern UNIX with an ANSI C compiler/library and a termios(4) serial
device interface.) To use the package, you will need ghostscript,
(available from prep.ai.mit.edu) dvips (available from the CTAN
archive,) and probably the pbm utilities, if it is desired to fax
postscript/eps files.
