Does anyone have a program that will interpret a PCl file?  What I need is a
program that will take a PCL file, which probably contains raster graphics,
and tells me how many pages it will print on.

I really hate writing line printing accounting programs.  Life would be so
much simplier if the stupid printer would just tell me how many pages it
printed!
