Here is the summary of the automatic line numbering starting at a given
number and numbering every nth line in the ``outside'' margin:

jantzen@ucis.vill.edu and VUMALKI@WEIZMAN.WEIZMAN.AC.IL sent me essentially
the same files that were posted to c.t.t. earlier but their response is
appreciated.

ecsgrt@luxor.latrobe.edu suggested using verbatimfiles.sty because it
has line numbering capability.  Although verbatimfiles.sty provides some
clues that will be useful the fact that I am not doing a program listing
forces me to let LaTeX make its normal line breaks.

An earlier posting to c.t.t. suggested some logic to start with in using
the odd or even page numbers.  Sometime during the next 4 weeks I will
be taking another crack at building a macro to accomplish what I need.
I will be looking for an elegant way of winding the page number logic
into the winding and unwinding of the lines.  I don't need floats or
anything unusual so I will be trying for the simplest solution
that works for what I need.  If I get it to work properly I will post
it so that others can generalize it.  Any comments, hints, guesses or
suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
JAF
