I found this documentstyle very useful and easy to use.  However for
every page of output it generates an "Overfull \vbox (12.64993pt too
high) has occurred while \output is active"

I can trace the vbox to the \@fancyhead definition.  But not being a
TeX/LaTeX hacker I haven't a clue how to solve it.  Any suggestions or
fixes?

Cheers, Simon
