Pager without pager_query

Hi,

I want to use the pager without a database, actually I use an SOAP result.

Can someone give my a hint, how I can use it?

I suppose, I have to use the pager theme:

$output .= theme('pager', NULL, 20, 0);

But how can I set the missing variables? Can I use the drupal pager without database?

Ciao Alex...
