...  pretty nifty procedure elided.

I'm looking into a different approach entire.  There's a package called
ReportLab that's, effectively, a Python API to PostScript, which
produces Acrobat-compatible PDF files.  It looks like it might be a
solution for *a lot* of the things people have wanted to do over the
last couple years, including both batch-faxing and fancy cover pages --
complete with memos.

I have to dig into the C code in coverpg (or is *that* C++ too <grumble>)
and see what exactly it does, but I've got 4 hours or so I'm not using
tonight.  More later, I think.

Cheers,
