I just spent several hours playing with a file that worked and
a file that didn't (thanks to the great docs on pageview (are
there any docs on pageview?)).

What you need is to have

%%EndProlog

just before the first page (but after all the definitions) and
then preceed each page with

%%Page: n n

Where n is in theory the page number although since I was doing
this in a sed script I just used 1 all the time.  (Actually I
suspect that the second n is supposed to be the total number of
pages, but the sample I was looking at didn't have it set to that.)

That seemed to do it for me.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
