a small and ugly patch to have latex-cover coverpages work with MacFLEX



Dear readers,
	I'm here posting this small patch for your covers to do what I say
in the subject. I sure know this isn't the final word on the subject, but
it does work (at least for me...). Find it enclosed here.

+% Here come the changes I had to make to faxcover. The use is simple, even 
+% though not very elegant. After you generated your own faxcover, with
+% latex-cover.sty and dvips (see the instructions from R. Krinke's package)
+% you have to rename it to 'faxcover.ps', and apply my patch with 
+%      patch < faxcover.diff
+% After that, your cover will be Mac-printable, but will cease to be
+% ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) friendly. Hope this helps at least until rob
+% will make MacFLEX Latin-1 compliant. I'm trying to make my case
+% with him without success since a couple of mounths, and for this
+% reason I wrote this HORRIBLE kludge.
+% As a matter of fact, it is just a miracle to see it working, since
+% [La]TeX could well make use of NFSS characters, instead of the 
+% sequences it uses when you load times.sty.
+% Really, to let the miracle continue working, you have to avoid putting
+% \usepackage{fontenc}[anything] in your .tex source. The funny thing is
+% that inputenc does work well even if TeX doesn't know how to print
+% high order characters directly, and dvips puts in the 8r.enc encoding
+% file even though you didn't ask for it.
