- we frequently receive dvi files that are to be printed on one of
- our typesetters. it would be quite useful to be able to determine
- quickly how many pages are in a particular dvi file.
-
- it shouldn't be difficult to extract from dvitype the code to
- perform this check. but (1) we don't want to reinvent any wheels,
- and (2) we haven't really got the time. if anyone out there has
- already created such a utility, we'd really appreciate learning
- about it.
