Authoring/Development - System CGI: Count.cgi
http://www.muquit.com/muquit/software/Count/Count.html

None recommended.
Count.cgi is a flashy but reliable counter with all sorts of options. We highly
recommend the use of Count.cgi over nph-count, which is
fairly prone to losing track of its numbers under high usage.
Use this command in your HTML wherever you want to insert a counter:
<IMG SRC="/cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=username-index.html">
The filename for df= must be your username, a dash, and a keyword
or filename that will let you keep track of which counter you're using.
Slashes and tildes are not allowed. Count.cgi keeps one counter
in each file; the naming format is required to avoid conflicts with other
users.
There is an extensive list of options available with Count.cgi;
they are documented fully on its home page (see above). At present, we
supply only the standard digit fonts; we may offer additional styles in the
near future.
If you are converting a counter from nph-count, or carrying over
a count value from a previous provider, you can specify
the starting value of any counter by adding the parameter
st=. For example:
<IMG SRC="/cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=sigma-index.html&st=1000">
This example creates the counter for sigma-index.html, with an
initial value of 1000. You can only do this for the first use of a
counter; if you need an existing counter changed, please
let us know.
Please note that this counter will only increment if the visitor's IP
differs from the last visitor's IP. This is to handle people pressing
the "Reload" button continuously.
