\totalnumberofpages and \setuparranging [2UP]

[John Magolske <listmail@b79.net>]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting \totalnumberofpages to display while using 
\setuparranging [2UP].

What I'd like to do is print a letter, two columns to a page, then 
cut the page in two so the letter is in long columns with fractional 
page numbering at the bottom of each column, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4. But 
what's happening is 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, 4/4.

\definepapersize[4.25x11][width=4.25in,height=11in]
\setuppapersize [4.25x11][letter]
\setuplayout[backspace=.75in, width=2.75in,
             topspace=.75in, top=0in,
             header=0in, footer=.5in, height=9.75in]
\setuppagenumbering[location={footer,right},right={~/~}{\lastpage}]
\setuparranging [2UP]

Removing \setuparranging [2UP] allows \totalnumberofpages to work 
fine, and upon replacing it, the first run works. But subsequent runs 
revert back to 1/1, 2/2, etc.  This is using the texexec --pdf 
command.

I read through the thread "\totalnumberofpages & texexec 
--pages=1:2", but being new to ConTeXt, I can't quite make out if 
that's relevant.

Any suggestions much appreciated.
