This program counts the number of times a particular page has been accessed. By inserting a specialized IMG tag into your HTML documents (like <img src=http://machine.edu/path-to-cgis/counter.acgi?user/searchKey>) Count WWWebula dynamically updates a GIF file and send it back to the client application with the HTML. Fun! The version reviewed here is still an alpha version and many people have reported problems running this program on Power Macintoshes and/or under WebSTAR. Give it a try.
