  I know since a long time for one, and for others notice recently, that there
are today several major problems with the FancyBox package. The origin is
always that it was not adapted to internal changes of recent versions of
LaTeX.

  The \fancypage and \thisfancypage doesn't work and produce the following
error message:

! Emergency stop.
\GenericError  ...                                
                                                    #4  \errhelp \@err@     ...

  A test case is:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fancybox}

%\fancypage{\setlength{\fboxsep}{1cm}\ovalbox}{}
\thisfancypage{\setlength{\fboxsep}{1cm}\ovalbox}{}

\begin{document}
  Text.
\end{document}

  Otherwise, there is the same problem that we described in the README of the
PSTricks 97 distribution with Seminar, relative to the \@begindvi now required
by LaTeX to allow dvips to include the PostScript header files. This problem
concern \fancypage, \thisfancypage, \fancyput, \thisfancyput, and all the
LandScape, Landscape and Landscape* environments and commands.

  A test case for one of these problems is:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{fancybox}

%\fancyput(8cm,-11cm){\rput{54}{\scalebox{15}{\lightgray DRAFT 1}}}
\thisfancyput(8cm,-11cm){\rput{54}{\scalebox{15}{\lightgray DRAFT 1}}}

\begin{document}
  Text.
\end{document}


  So, required corrections are:

\def\filedate{97/05/16}
