The file chappg.sty does this.  It is rather short, so I am including it in
this post.  You can also retrieve it from FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET
(FILESERV@SHSU.edu) by including SENDME STY.CHAPPG in a mail message to it. 

While our holdings are not comprehensive, you can get an annotated listing
of styles available on FILESERV by including the command LIST STY in a mail
message to it.  If you want to add a style to our collection, contact me
and we can arrange it.

Regards,   George
