Q: Under OPENSTEP 4.2 for Mach, some applications won't let me set a cover page for faxes--and a few won't let me fax at all! How can I fix this?

A: There was a problem with the English language cover page shipped with OPENSTEP 4.2. All you have to do is replace the file:

/NextLibrary/Fax/English.lproj/Cover.draw

with a corrected version. You will then be able to fax normally from all applications. You can download this corrected version from:

ftp://ftp.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/MultiCountry/

Enterprise/openstep/patches/4.2_Fax_Patch/Cover.draw.compressed


NOTE: Some versions of OmniWeb for OPENSTEP Mach add a .Z extension to downloaded files, causing uncompression errors. To correct this problem, find the downloaded file in the file system and remove the .Z extension before uncompressing it.
