+1 INTRODUCTION
+==============
+
+On some exams’ sheets, some professors or lecturers like to indicate to the reader
+that the ‘page’ can be turned. That avoids oversights to the student, thereby
+avoiding them cold sweat at the end of the exam, realizing that there were other
+questions they needed to answer. One might implement a LaTeX mechanism
+so that each odd page (except the last one, if the last page is odd) displays a
+message to turn the page. This mechanism can also be useful for different kinds
+of documents.
+This package can thus be used for exams, or special documents printed
+‘twoside.’
