Hi there,                                                                       
                                                                                
I'm very pleased to announce the immediate availability of                      
pkpgcounter v1.50                                                               
                                                                                
pkpgcounter is a 100% Python generic Page Description Language                  
parser which can count the number of pages in documents.                        
                                                                                
pkpgcounter currently recognizes the following PDLs :                           
                                                                                
        - PostScript (DSC compliant and binary)                                 
        - PDF                                                                   
        - PCLXL (aka PCL6)

        - ESC/P2

  - big modifications to the code to split the utility into a command           
    line tool and a Python library.                                             
                                                                                
  - several improvements to the PDL parsers.                                    
                                                                                
  - the --debug command line option demonstrate the beginning of                
    what will be available in the future.
