% \maketitle
%
% \begin{abstract}
% The \mboxtt{facsimile} package provides a simple interface for creating a
% fax.  This covers by and large two areas: First, a title page is created with
% a detailed fax header.  And secondly, every page gets headers and footers so
% that the recipient can be sure to have received all pages and complete
% pages, and to have the correct order.
% \end{abstract}

% \section*{The documentation driver file}
%
% This section is purely technical and for the usage of \mboxtt{facsimile}
% totally meaningless.  Please read further at ``Installation''
% \vpageref[below]{sec:installation}.
%
% \bigskip
% The next bit of code contains the documentation driver file for
% \TeX, i.\,e., the file that will produce the documentation you are
% currently reading.  It will be extracted from this file by the
% \texttt{docstrip} program.  Since it is the first code in the file
% one can alternatively process this file directly with \LaTeXe{} to
% obtain the documentation.

%
% \section{Installation}
% \label{sec:installation}
%
% The distribution consists of just two files, \mboxtt{facsimile.dtx} and
% \mboxtt{facsimile.ins}.  The installation is totally typical of a \LaTeXe\
% package: Call
%\begin{verbatim}
%  tex facsimile.ins
%\end{verbatim}
% and move the resulting file \mboxtt{facsimile.cls} where \TeX\ can find it.  In a
% TDS conformant system, you should put it e.\,g.\ in the directory
% \oldurl{texmf/tex/latex/facsimile}.  Then update \TeX's filename database.
% You get this documentation with
%\begin{verbatim}
%  latex facsimile.dtx
%\end{verbatim}
% (If you want to see the implementation, too, comment out the |\OnlyDescription|
% command in the DTX file.)
% 
% \subsection{The configuration file}
%
% You should consider creating a configuration file called \mboxtt{facsimile.cfg}.
% Then you have the same font setup, sender's address, and more for all your
% faxes, and you don't have to set this explicitly in every single fax.  Of
% course, you can also load some additional packages and set page margins and
% things like that.
%
% It is by and large unimportant where you place this file.  It is only
% important that \TeX\ can find it.  Since it contains personal information, it
% should not be global, but placed where it is only read from your account,
% e.\,g.\ in your local \texttt{texmf} tree.  If you are the only person who
% uses the computer, this is insignificant though.
%
% By using e.\,g.\ Babel you can make your configuration file language
% sensitive.  This can be useful if you write faxes to people in different
% languages.
% 
% \section{Usage}
%
% \subsection{Configuration file commands}
%
% You can use the following commands either in the configuration file
% \mboxtt{facsimile.cfg} or in the preamble of your document.  However, in the
% configuration file they are more useful.
% 
% \DescribeMacro\faxfrom
% The macro |\faxfrom{|\meta{sender}|}| takes as the only parameter \LaTeX\
% code that produces information about the sender of the fax.  It may be filled
% with something like this: 
%\begin{verbatim}
%  \faxfrom{%
%    \begin{tabular}{rl}
%    from:        & Bugs Bunny\\
%    address:     & ACME Street 42\\
%                 & 90210 Toontown\\
%                 & USA\\
%    phone/fax:   & +1-555-314159\\
%    \end{tabular}}
%\end{verbatim}
%
% \DescribeMacro\faxheaderfont
% The fax header will be typeset in the same font as the rest of the document.
% In particular, any global font changes you make in your document preamble
% will be visible in the fax header, too.  But if you want to use a special
% font in the fax header, put the font activating commands in |\faxheaderfont|
% with e.\,g.
%\begin{verbatim}
%  \renewcommand{\faxheaderfont}{\fontfamily{phv}\selectfont}
%\end{verbatim}
% which activates Helvetica.
%
% \DescribeMacro\faxnotetext
% If this macro contains text, it is printed as a note on the cover page.  For
% example, you may set it to
%\begin{verbatim}
%  \renewcommand{\faxnotetext}{This message was sent using a fax
%    modem.  When replying to this fax, phone first, so the fax
%    modem and PC can be switched on and prepared for fax
%    reception.}
%\end{verbatim}
% 
% \DescribeMacro\fromsig
% By default, the author's name is printed below the empty space where you can
% insert your signature.  If you set |\fromsig|, its contents is used instead.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\closinghook}
% Obviously it's silly to sign a fax if it's sent purely electronically.  But
% you can scan your own signature and say
%\begin{verbatim}
%  \renewcommand{\closinghook}{\includegraphics{signature}\\}
%\end{verbatim}
% Then the graphics with the file name \mboxtt{signature.eps}\footnote{The
% exact file name extension depends on your dvi driver.} is printed between the
% closing phrase and your name.  Of course, you then have to load the
% \mboxtt{graphics} package, too.  This is a mere example application of
% |\closinghook|; you may put in it (almost) whatever you want.
% 
% \subsection{Preamble commands}
% 
% The following commands are used in your document \emph{before}
% |\begin{document}|.
% 
% \DescribeMacro\faxto
% The counterpart of |\faxfrom| for the recipient is
% |\faxto{|\meta{recipient}|}|.  For example:
%\begin{verbatim}
%  \faxto{%
%    \begin{tabular}{rl}
%    to:          & \textbf{The President}\\
%    fax:         & +1-202-456-1414\\
%    \end{tabular}}
%\end{verbatim}
%
% \DescribeMacro\faxsubject
% You \emph{must} set a subject for your fax with
% \begin{quote}
% |\faxsubject[|\meta{short subject}|]{|\meta{subject}|}|
% \end{quote}
% The short subject is optional and used for the page headers.
%
% \subsection{Document commands}
%
% You can use the following commands between |\begin{document}| and
% |\end|\hskip0pt|{document}|.
% 
% \DescribeMacro\makefaxtitle
% The fax header is not produced implicitly.  You trigger it with
% |\makefaxtitle|.  Normally this is the very first command in your document.
%
% \DescribeMacro\opening
% This is used exactly as in the \mboxtt{letter} class:
% |\opening{|\meta{greeting phrase}|}|.  It starts the text body of your fax.
%
% \DescribeMacro\closing
% This is used exactly as in the \mboxtt{letter} class:
% |\closing{|\meta{closing phrase}|}|.  It ends the text body of your fax.
%
% \section{Complete example}
%
% \subsection{An example for \mboxtt{facsimile.cfg}}
%
% A configuration file can be very simple.  Only two things are really
% necessary: The |\faxfrom| call and the |\author| call.
%
% When you unpack the \mboxtt{facsimile} package, this short example is written
% to the file \mboxtt{fac-en.cfg}.  Take it as templates for your own
% configuration.\footnote{Of course your configuration file must be called
% \mboxtt{facsimile.cfg} so that it works.}
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*coreconfiguration>
\faxfrom{%
  \begin{tabular}{rl}
  from:        & Bugs Bunny\\
  address:     & ACME Street 42\\
               & 90210 Toontown\\
               & USA\\
  phone/fax:   & +1-555-314159\\
  \end{tabular}}

\author{Bugs Bunny}
%</coreconfiguration>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsubsection{A not so simple example configuration}
% 
% This alternative configuration file shows how language sensitiveness can be
% realised:  It works for both English and German faxes.
%
% When you unpack the \mboxtt{facsimile} package, this long example is written
% to the file \mboxtt{fac-de.cfg}.  You can use that as a starting point for
% your personal \mboxtt{facsimile.cfg} as well.
%
% Please note that it's wise to avoid non-ASCII characters in such
% configuration files.  Therefore I don't write ``\mboxtt{straße}'' but
% ``\verb|stra\ss e|''.

%
% \subsubsection{German fax example}
%
% It is in German to show non-English usage exemplarily, however by and large
% the only special line is the inclusion of the Babel package.  The inclusion
% of the \mboxtt{fontenc} and \mboxtt{inputenc} packages is also especially

% ``|latin1|''.

% add the supported languages to Babel's language machanism.  Then Babel's
% active language determines which language \mboxtt{facsimile} chooses.
%
% If Babel is not loaded, I first test whether a language has been chosen via a
% global option (|\iff@xlanguageset|).  If not, I activate German language if
% the \mboxtt{german.sty} package was loaded.
%
% So the order of precedence is: Babel $\to$ global option $\to$
% \mboxtt{german.sty} $\to$ default (English).

%
% \begin{macro}{\faxnotetext}

% \begin{macro}{\f@xto}
% These macros are the internal variables for the fields in the fax header.  By

%
% \subsection{User interface}
%
% The user sets the above variables by calling these macros.
%
% \begin{macro}{\faxsubject}
% This sets the subject of the fax.  It is printed as the title on the cover
% page and in the head line on all other pages.
%    \begin{macrocode}

  \renewcommand{\f@xsubject}{#2}
  \renewcommand{\f@xsubjectshort}{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}

% \begin{macro}{\faxto}
% This sets the ``\textit{to:}''\ field in the fax header.  It may be a box or
% a table.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*{\faxto}[1]{\renewcommand{\f@xto}{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\faxfrom}

% or a table.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*{\faxfrom}[1]{\renewcommand{\f@xfrom}{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \subsubsection{Configuration file}
% Here I read a configuration file called \mboxtt{facsimile.cfg} if it exists.  It
% may set a default |\author|, |\faxfrom|, and |\faxheaderfont|.  It may even
% do so language sensitive.
%    \begin{macrocode}

%
% For this I use the |lastpage| package.

%    \end{macrocode}
% \begin{macro}{\@lstpgno}
% I stole this command from the \texttt{fax} package.  I don't know how it

% \subsection{Setting style}
%
% \begin{macro}{\faxheaderfont}
% You can override this definition in order to get your favourite font for the
% fax header.

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\f@xboxgap}
% \begin{macro}{\f@xboxsep}
% \begin{macro}{\f@xframethickness}
% You can reset these three macros, too, however the default values seem very
% reasonable to me.  |\f@xgap| is the gap between the header boxes whereas
% |\f@xsep| is the separation between the box and its contents.
% |\f@xframethickness| is the line width of the box frames.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newdimen\f@xboxgap \setlength{\f@xboxgap}{1mm}

% \section{Creating the header layout}
%
% \begin{macro}{\f@xframebox}
% This creates one framed box on the cover page.  The first parameter~|#2| is
% the width of the box, the second parameter~|#3| is its contents.  An optional
% parameter~|#1| sets the height of the box explicitly.  If given, it must be
% of the form ``|to 30pt|'' for example.

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\f@xdoubleframebox}
% This sets \emph{two} of such boxes next to each other.  It has two
% parameters that are simply the contents of both boxes.  It assures that both
% boxes have the same height so that they are vertically neatly aligned.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\f@xdoubleframebox}[2]{\hbox to \hsize{%
