1. You need a Windows 95/NT Server to use this application.
2. Decompress the ZIP-Archiv.
3. Copy the files "counter.exe","counterwatchdog.exe" and "cgi-machine-counterex.ini" in a folder which is declared for the use of executable applications. This is your CGI-Path (for Example : http://www.cgimachine.plattform.de/CGI/).
4. You only need one counter-application on your whole server.
5. For every page on your server you can now define a keyword. This keyword (parameter KEY) could be the filename or any other word you like. The counter.exe creates a counter when you use the counter.exe with the keyword the first time and starts with zero.
6. In your pages you only have to include the following HTML-Code with the right keyword for this page.
   <img src="cgipath/counter.exe?key=keyword&style=style-number">.
   For example for your homepage (when your CGIPath is http://www.cgimachine.plattform.de/CGI):
   <img src="http://www.cgimachine.palttform.de/counter.exe?key=index.htm&style=1">
   or for the page with the filename INFO.HTM :
   <img src="http://www.cgimachine.palttform.de/counter.exe?key=info.htm&style=2">
7. With the parameter style you can choose out of 25 beautiful stylings for each call.
   
   
   The quality shown here is lower than created with the application.
8. You can now start the application CounterWatchdog.exe for editing your counters.
9. If you copy the file CounterLocked.dat in the same folder as Counter.exe the Counter-Software will be locked, so you can only create counters via the Watchdog-Software.
10. NOCOUNT : turns the counter off, if you set the value on 'YES' :
    z.B. <img src="http://www.trojan.de/cgi/counter.exe?key=info.htm&style=2&nocount=yes">
11. NODIGIT : shows any graphic instead of the counter digit - please use as value a pathname of a bitmap-graphic z.B. <img src="http://www.trojan.de/cgi/counter.exe?key=info.htm&style=2&nodigit=c:\cgisign.bmp">
12. MYDIGIT : uses any graphic to create the counter - please use as value a pathname of a bitmap-graphic (try digit.bmp)
    z.B. <img src="http://www.trojan.de/cgi/counter.exe?key=info.htm&style=2&mydigit=c:\digit.bmp">

1.) Copy the following files in your existing counter-folder :
counter.exe, counterwatchdog.exe und cgi-machine-counterex.ini

1.) Will the counter work on a Unix based server that does support CGI ?
Sorry, but the CGIMachine - Counter works only on Windows based servers, for example WebSite or MS Information Server.

2.) In what directory must I copy the counter.exe?
The counter.exe must be copied in the CGI-Directory on your server, or in the directory your Web-provider manages for you. The counter does not work with free private homepages from Compuserve or AOL because there you have only one directory, which is not declared for CGI. You have to asked your provider for further information.

3.) Do I need to load image files for counter.exe ?
No, because all graphic-data is included in the EXE-file. So, you don't need to load any other files than counter.exe.

4.) How can I know what is my keyword and what is it ?
You can use any keywords you want to. Each, keyword represents a counter, so you can also use the names of your HTML-Documents.
