+frletter
+
+A small class for typesetting letters in France; no assumption is made 
+about the language used. It represents a cosmetically modified beletter 
+class, which itself is based on the letter class. Corresponding layout 
+files were contributed on the Lyx Wiki.
+
+The authors of the original beletter class are James Kilfiger and 
+Frank Lenaerts. The contributor of frletter is Liviu Andronic.
+
+The license is Public Domain.

+%%%%%%%%%% frletter.cls %%%%%%%%%%
+% The original beletter class is in the public domain. So is frletter.
+%
+% This code is unsupported, and comes with no warranty.
+% The original beletter class was written by James Kilfiger and Frank Lenaerts, 
+% to meet the specifications for formatting Belgium letters recommended by
+% Frank's wife.
+% It can be used in place of the standard LaTeX class
+%
+% The frletter class was contributed by Liviu Andronic. It tries to hack further
+% the letter class and make it conform to the French typesetting conventions. 
+% The frletter class consists of cosmetical modifications applied to the 
+% beletter class, according to what I understand as French conventions for 
+% writing letters. Please consider that I am neither a French native, nor a 
+% LaTeX expert. 
+%
+% You will also find layout files for both beletter and frletter classes on the Lyx 
+% Wiki. Both are ugly hacks inputting the letter layout, but they work and I'm OK 
+% with it. There you will also find corresponding Lyx templates. 
+%
+% If you are on the look for a class trully specialized on typesetting French
+% letters, check the lettre class developed by Denis Mégevand from the 
+% Observatoire de Genève. There is no corresponding Lyx layout (not to the best 
+% of my knowledge).
