I've used psmark (http://www.antitachyon.com/Content/Utilities/psmark)
to add simple timestamp banners to incoming faxes (psmark -i - -o - -x
-400 -y 20 -r 0 -s 10 "`date`"), but it's pretty simple, so it might not
do what you want.

I have heard talk of something Chris Parsons did a while back for
combining postscript pages, unfortunately I've lost track of where it
all was, but it was postscript1 only.

A flexible little PS compositing tool would be most handy for hylafax
scripts imo. I will be watching this thread with great interest :)

Cheers,
