I am not sure how it can be done using LaTeX, but I wrote my thesis using
some plain TeX macros I wrote myself and had the page numbers up on the
right corner. Looking at my thesis, it happens that the number is about
0.75~in in from the right edge of the paper, and is about (what do you know)
0.75~in from the top; the right hand margin of my text is 1.25~in from the
right edge. If you are interested, I can e-mail you, Greg, my macro file.
I don't think one needs a DVI driver to be capable of doing -ve skips, I
did the above using the IMPRINT DVI driver for an IMAGEN laser printer; the
same also works under Micro-TeX using the EPSON DVI driver from Addison-Wesley.
