Except that it would actually be "fairly easy"* to calculate either type of mythical page number** on the fly and display them on the ToC screen.


* "fairly easy" is a programmers term meaning something like "should be able to do it without that much work but do need to do some investigation". It is NEVER used around any one with the word "Manager" in their job title as they interpret it as "extremely simple to do and will be done tomorrow".

** Yes, both page numbering systems are completely arbitrary. But, I like "mythical". And I either or every time you insist that the RMSDK page numbering is in some way more real or accurate than any other numbering. Which I do depends on my mood. Please, don't bother arguing back. I've read all of your sermons about it.
