Hi,

add the following fragment at the beginning of your cover page :

/IS {
   dup where {
      pop
      load dup nullstring ne {S} {pop} ifelse
   } {pop} ifelse
} bind def
/M { moveto } bind def
/S { show } bind def

and also don't use the comment1() to commentx() lines, use only the
comment() macro.

But i would recomment to wait untill the next release is out. But this
can take some time, because i have to write something that's called
a port monitor for the problems with Windows 95 and problems when
sending
large faxes with the fax printer feature.
