        I  don't  have time to check it, but here's a couple
        of things to try.  If  your  pagenumber  is  in  the
        header,  which is mm's default, then you can disable
        it with .PGNH.  To disable the footer you could tem-
        porarily rename (.rn) your .EOP macro.

This doesn't seem to have an effect on the cover or
the front pages. Adding .PGNH removes page number
from all consequtive pages, but not from these two.
The footer is fine. I put the date there.

Thank you
