+<p>It&rsquo;s often useful to place some text (such as &lsquo;DRAFT&rsquo;) in the
background of every page of a document. For LaTeX users, this can
be achieved with the <i>draftcopy</i> package. This can deal with
many types of DVI processors (in the same way that the graphics
-package does) and knows translations for the word 'DRAFT' into a wide
+package does) and knows translations for the word &lsquo;DRAFT&rsquo; into a wide
range of languages (though you can choose your own word, too).
+Unfortunately, however, the package relies on PostScript specials, and will
+therefore fail if you are viewing your document with <i>xdvi</i>,
+and won&rsquo;t even compile if you&rsquo;re using PDFLaTeX. (PDFLaTeX
+users need one of the other solutions below.)
+<p>The <i>wallpaper</i> package builds on <i>eso-pic</i> (see
+below). Apart from the single-image backdrops described above
+(&ldquo;wallpapers&rdquo;, of course, to this package), the package provides
+facilities for tiling images. All its commands come in pairs: one for
+&ldquo;general&rdquo; use, and one applying to the current page only.
+<p>The <i>draftwatermark</i> package uses the same author&rsquo;s
+<i>everypage</i> package to provide a simple interface for adding
+textual (&lsquo;DRAFT&rsquo;-like) watermarks.
<p>More elaborate watermarks may be achieved using the <i>eso-pic</i>
-package, which in turn uses the package <i>everyshi</i>, part of
-Martin Schr&ouml;der's <i>ms</i> bundle. <i>Eso-pic</i> attaches a
+package, which in turn uses the package <i>everyshi</i>, or by
+using <i>everypage</i>. <i>Eso-pic</i> attaches a
<code>picture</code> environment to every page as it is shipped out;
you can put things into that environment. The package provides
-commands for placing things at certain useful points (like "text
-upper left" or "text centre") in the picture, but you're at liberty
