In our application we send a lot of bit maps and our own fonts down, so that the beginning of page command byte can in fact occur in other contexts than just BOP. Indeed, since we demand load the character bitmaps, the offending byte can appear anywhere in a document even without a big bitmap graphic. Hence I would have to virtually write an Impress interpreter, or some part of one, to count correctly. For me, better to wait until Imagen sends page count in all communications modes. It's probably a very low priority issue for them, but casual conversation with Imagen convinces me that they mean to do it one of these days.
