Below are some fragments from our Operations Manaual style that provide what
you have asked for (you may need to do some reconciliation with your style
file).

Also, roman numeral are used for pages before chapter one (e.g. the
contents pages), and the TeX counters have been reasssigned, so that TeX
reports pages as [0.1] [0.2] ... [1.1] [1.2] [1.3] ... [2.1] [2.2] ... etc.
