Does this help:
sauron.deepsoft.com% psselect -r <TypemapsEven.ps >/dev/null
[9] [8] [7] [6] [5] [4] [3] [2] [1] Wrote 9 pages, 480115 bytes
Or this:
sauron.deepsoft.com% grep '^%%Pages' TypemapsEven.ps
%%Pages: (atend)
%%Pages: 9
(These methods assume that the PS file has the proper DSC comments.)
