- We've got a large number of book files, each with several chapter
- files of varying length, all using folio-by-chapter numbering
- (page 1-2 follows 1-1, Chapter two pages are numbered 2-1, 2-2, etc.).
-
- We need to get estimates on-the-fly for the page count for an arbitrary
- set of these books, in order to plan binder sizes, etc.
-
- We can figure out the manual method (open each file, check number of
- pages, add to running total), but we're hoping there's an easier way.
-
- Does anyone have a suggestion?
-
- Please email me and I'll summarize any responses for the group.

- Regards,
- Nicholas
