Re: [hylafax-users] faxcover.ps working for sendfax but not Cyphe us

Yes, you're right - faxcover does fill in the required variables.  However,
according to the author of Cypheus who has contacted me privately, Cypheus
does the same thing.  He has kindly requested a copy of my cover page to see
if it can be reproduced on his system.

I think the faxcover.ps as it is, isn't really a proper .ps document.
I think you need to run the executable "faxcover" on it to fill in
some blanks, etc. to create a full postscript page which could be sent
directly to a printer, for example.  

I know nothing about Cypheus, so if it's doing this, then I'm sorry I
don't have anything else to suggest.
