How can I use the counter script on my website?
There are 3 steps you need to do in order to activate a counter
on your home page.
1.) Name your home page index.html
2.) Send us an e-mail to activate for your domain the
counter script.
We will activate the counter script and put 2 files in your main
web directory:
index.cgi (The script) and a file named .count that contains the
number of visitors.
3.) Put the string #COUNT
where you want the counter to appear.
When http://your-domain.com is referenced at the browser, instead
of delivering the file index.html as normally expected, the program
index.cgi is run instead. index.cgi reads the .count file, increments
the number in that file by one, and writes the file back on disk.
Then it reads in the index.html file, finds the string "#COUNT"
imbedded somewhere in it, changes "#COUNT" to 1 + whatever
value if found in .count, and sends the modified index.html to
the browser.
