+</head><body>
+<h3>How many pages are there in my document?</h3>
+<p>Simple documents (those that start at page 1, and don't have any
+breaks in their page numbering until their last page) present no
+problem to the seeker after this truth. The number of pages is
+reported by the <i>lastpage</i> package in its <code>LastPage</code> label.
+<p>For more complicated documents (most obviously, books with frontmatter
+in a different series of page numbers) this simple approach will not
+do.
+<p>The <i>count1to</i> package defines a label <code>TotalPages</code>; this is
+the value of its copy of <code>\</code><code>count1</code> (a reserved TeX count
+register) at the end of the document.
+<p>Package <i>totpages</i> defines a label <code>TotPages</code>, but it also
+makes the register it uses available as a LaTeX counter,
+<code>TotPages</code>, which you can also reference via <code>\</code><code>theTotPages</code>. Of
+course, the counter <code>TotPages</code> is asynchronous in the same way that
+apge numbers are, but snapshots may safely be taken in the output
+routine.
+<p>The <i>memoir</i> class defines two counters <code>lastpage</code> and
+<code>lastsheet</code>, which are set (after the first run of a document)
+to the equivalent of the <code>LastPage</code> label and the
+<code>TotalPages</code> labels.
+<p>Both <i>count1to</i> and <i>totpages</i> need the support of
+the <i>everyshi</i> package.
