Like the others, I also would say fancyhdr.sty (it is in both
distributions, gwTeX and TeXLive-2007).
I find it useful in course handouts, exams, etc., and have been using it
for quite long time. Here are the relevant lines of my typical preamble:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\addtolength{\headheight}{14pt} % space for the rule
\lhead{Updated: \today \hfill Set 4}%{\small 1st version: 2005}
\chead{}
\rhead{}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{\thepage}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{document}
\title{Some Generative Grammars: Set 4}
\author{XYZ}
\date{draft}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{fancy} %% to have the rule ad the header on the title page
%\thispagestyle{empty}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
