Notice that showpage was 'appended'. This means that a call to showpage from any program will still call showpage, only now it will be YOUR showpage. Just remember that when you actually wish to print a page, you must now call showpage* or whatever you redefined the true procedure to be named as. You might run into a positioning problem in that some customer files or some of your files, might take the entire image region that was defined using setpageparams (even via letter, etc.). In this scenario the way to get around is to always append a very short (.5 inch tall) page with your stats. Alas, then you will double your counter (maybe dividing page number with idiv by two would help keep the count straight.
