I wrote this simple program.  It is far from general purpose...a
few minutes thinking would have me adding many more capabilities.
For instance, I should have determined the page size dynamically
and it should be idempotent, i.e., it should remove existing page
numbering before inserting new page numbering.

Don't know.
