How to keep introduction page numbers from reverting from roman to latin numerals

Question

I have a similar problem but can't figure out how to force my local FRT to keep doing roman numerals right straight through to the beginning of Matthew. It does roman numerals for the title pages, publication data pages, and for the table of contents. But then does latin numerals 1,2,3,4 for the introduction (which is brought in dynamically  from INT with \zgetperiph). Then Matthew starts over with pages 1,2,3 AGAIN. I've played with all the various page commands e.g.  \dopagenums \nopagenums \resetpagenums -1 and tried different things in ptxprint-mods.tex but to no avail. Interestingly though, if I "hard code" the text of the introduction directly into the local FRT, the page numbers DO behave as expected - i.e. the roman numerals continue through the intro, and then Matthew begins with 1,2,3. But that pretty much defeats the purpose of \zgetperiph.

Hi, sorry for your problem being unanswered for so long.
There isn't anything I know of in the tex code that resets the page numbers before the reset that is triggered by the first scripture book.
Oh. [Delete the suggestion to look for oddities in your files]
Actually, looking at a recently generated test-case from the template, I see that the Bible and NT introductions get a \pageno=1 before and after them. That's wrong, and I assume it's what you're seeing?

That sounds like the problem I was seeing. In the end I hard-coded the text of the introduction into the local FRT which did an endrun around the problem.

A fix has been committed for this bug... - the change to latin numerals should now only happen once - If the new code is resetting the page number too early, you'll need to read the Technical Documentation (or ask here), how to un-reset it so that the change happens later.
