Article with seperate title page and TOC

[christiaan pauw]

Hallo Everybody

I am writing a report using the article class but I want the title page 
and TOC on seperate pages like the report class does (but I don't want 
tot use Chapters like the report class). I used a manual page break 
after Title, author, date but sometimes I get errors when I compile. 
When I delete the manual page break, everything works again.

Is there a way in which I can change the article class to automatically 
break after the title-author-date or to change the report class to be 
able to use it without chapters so that it does not number the sections 
0.1 0.2 0.3 etc but just 1 2 3 etc?

regards
Christiaan
