I found the answer to the problem of using \rlap to put the numbers in the
right margin.  The necessary clue was on page 110 of ``TeX for the Impatient''
by Paul W. Abrahams, Karl Berry, and Kathryn A. Hargreaves.

The modified line of altnline.sty now looks like:

\ifodd\count0\setbox0=\hbox{\box0\rlap{\rule{\wd2}{0pt}\box2}}

On to the rest of the other problems with altnline.sty.
