With the old PUB I could safely .count page to reset the page counter, but with new PUB this causes blowups which are obscure to me. Compare BAD1.PUB and GOOD1.PUB on [f,san]; the only difference is line 1300/1 of BAD1, a .count page which is not in GOOD1. Can you tell what's wrong with BAD1? 10-JAN-73 0304 F,SAN
