The counter needs mirror homes.
You can only become an official mirror site, If you are an ISP or owner of
the domain or authorized by your employer to do so.
The counter page gets about 1500 (Fifteen hundred) hits/day on average.
I appreciate your help on this.
How to mirror the counter pages:
Install GNU wget. GNU wget is a nice web mirroring and
retrieval software.
It runs on Unix as well as MS NT/95.
The program wget is available from:
from the author .
Decide the name of the directory you're going to mirror the counter pages.
This directory must be a valid web server document directory. For example,
if your web server document root is /usr/local/apache/htdocs and you want
to keep the counter pages in the directory /usr/local/apache/htdocs/Count,
then the wget command will look like below:
/usr/local/bin/wget -nH -r -np -N
-R index.html -L -X cgi-bin \
-P /usr/local/apache/htdocs/Count \
-o /usr/local/apache/htdocs/Count_mirror.log \
--cut-dirs=2
http://www.fccc.edu/users/muquit/Count.html
Explanation of the wget options used:
don't create host directories
recursive web-suck
don't ascend to the parent directory
don't retrieve files if older than local
-R index.html
don't bring index.html
follow relative links only
exclude cgi-bin directoyr
--cut-dirs=2
ignore 2 remote directory components (/users/muquit)
save files to directory /foo
-o /file.log
The log will be written to this file.
http://xyz/
mirror this URL
Alternatively, if you installed the counter, a helper script is supplied
to help you in mirroring. The script mirror_count.sh is intalled in the
base directory of the counter. Edit the script first, modify the variables
wget, dir and log.
Try the first transfer from command line and then when you're sure it works
properly, setup a cron job.
Again, carefully check the argument to -P and -o.
Setup a cron job so that wget will check periodically if anything changed
in the counter pages. If I change anything I usually upload around 11 PM
US Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5). So, I would suggest to setup the cron job
at your localtime corresponding to GMT-5.
For example, if you're in the US east coast, setup the cron job to run
at 12 midnight everyday:
0 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/wget -nH -r -np -N
-R index.html -L -X cgi-bin
-P /usr/local/apache/htdocs/Count
-o /usr/local/apache/htdocs/Count_mirror.log
--cut-dirs=2
http://www.fccc.edu/users/muquit/Count.html & /dev/null 2&&1
Make sure there is no line break in the above command in the crontab
file. I broke it up just to fit it in the page.
Again, if you installed the counter, just call the script
mirror_count.sh, example:
0 0 * * * /usr/local/etc/Counter/mirror_count.sh
The 0 0 indicates 0 minutes and 0 hours (that is midnight). If you do
not live in the US, adjust this time to GMT-5. For example if you live in UK,
it will be 0 5.
Note, wget will only transfer the pages modified since the last
transfer, so the transfer traffic will be minimal.
Step 4 - Let me know by
, so that I can
list your site and URL. Please specify the geographic location of your site.
Provide a URL if you like it to be mentioned in the credit below the mirror
link. Also let me know if it is ok to mention your email address.
The WWW Counter program is continually being enhanced.
Please check this section periodically to see the latest enhancements
and bug fixes.
Please look at the
for the list of past
enhancements and bug fixes.
Please look at the Section
for all the features.
LZW compression in GIF is OFF by default. If you want to make the counter with
LZW compression, edit the file libs/combine/Makefile.in and uncomment the
line ##HAS_LZW= -DHAS_LZW=1.
Please do so at your own risk as Unisys has the
right to charge you $5000.00 for using compressed GIF files.
Without the LZW compression, the GIF image the counter generates will be bigger.
Read more about it:
Note NT binary still has LZW support, I'll remove it as soon as possible.
I'm in the process of adding PNG support.
(Nov-11-1999)
A new parameter
is added, to specify
countdown from date so that the difference between two dates
can be shown if you specify the target date witht he parameter
(Jul-17-1999)
Fixed some memory related bugs. Modified the Commaize() funtion, it had
a memory free related bug.
remote_ip var had dangling memory read problem.
All memory related bugs were fund by Parasoft's insure++.
(May-26-1999)
The binary version of the current release for NT is available. Please

(May-25-1999)
the counter on a base image had many bugs.
All are fixed I think.
Now you can composite
counter, clock or countdown image on a base image (previously only counter
image could be composited).
Left padding the counter while compositing
was not working either.
keyword had
more values now, namely topleft, topcenter, topright, midleft, midcenter, midright,
bottomleft, bottomcenter and bottomright. A new keyword
can be used with
to specify the offset (in pixels) of the counter image from the edge
of the base image.
(May-16-1999)
The meaning of
parameter is changed. Now this
parameter is used for compositing the counter, clock, date or countdown image.
paramter is used, the default is to
composite the counter image.
(May-16-1999)
A new boolean keyword
(show day hr
min sec) is added, so that only days in countdown can be displayed.
(May-16-1999)
A new parameter =version is introduced to
show the version of the counter. A command line flag -version also can be
used to find out the version of the counter.
(May-16-1999)
Yes it includes the Buffer Overflow security fix (Fixed on:
Oct-17-1997 in Count 2.3).
A C compiler (ANSI or non-ANSI) if you are installing it
You should be familiar with Unix operating system in order to install
it on Unix. I think if you know what ls command is, you qualify. If your
site is configured to run CGI programs from users' space, then you will
not need root access otherwise root access is needed.
are installing on NT, a self extracting binary is available.
Setup Wizard will guide you through the installation.
You must run a web server. The web server must be
capable of running standard
programs. If you run several web servers in your domain, you can
install the counter in one server and allow the users at other servers to
access the counter remotely.
The web server must be running on any of the Unix, NT,
OS/2, VMS or Amiga Operating System.
It is reported that the program runs on the following platforms:

program to keep record of the raw hits of a web page. It
generates a GIF image of the number of hits and returns to the browser as
an in-lined image.
The program also has a run-time option not to show the digit
images, this way the hits can be kept without displaying it. The hits can be
be monitored without incrementing from a separate page as well.
The program can also can display time and date of any timezone. It has a
option to countdown to a specific date (past or future).
Almost all of the
are run-time options.
This program started as a fun-to-play-with
CGI program but due to enormous interest, feature request, input
from thousands of you, it has
turned in to the most configurable hit counter on the whole World Wide
Web and it's free. The program runs on almost all Known Unix platforms,
Windows NT, OS/2, VMS and Amiga.
Does not require server-side includes.
Countdown to a specific date (past or future). Countdown
can be done in reference to local server time or any timezone with the
parameter .
Two new keywords are added: =countdown and
If display=countdown is
used and no cdt is specified, the default countdown to Year 2000 is assumed.
The current time and date can be displayed below the countdown if the
=T is used.
Please look at the
section and
for details.
Also look at the
section to see how it
(new in this release)
Site admin can decide to count or ignore page reload via a keyword (
count_reload) in .
If the site
admin decides to count reload (count_reload=Yes), then a user can choose
to count or ignore reload with parameter =T or F.
Note, if the side admin decided to ignore reload, then the user preference
is ignored.
(new in this release)
The counter image can be composited with a base image to a specific
location. New keyword: =x;y (Sub-image x and y co-ordinate).
The parameter
can be used to specify the width
and height of the counter image in the &img src= tag while calling the
counter. The implication is, if the counter is the first thing in a large
table, the browser will not have to wait to calculate the width and height
of the counter image before loading the rest.
Please look at the
section to see how it
(new in this release)
The site admin can log the counter messages in the log file or ignore the
messages by specifying a keyword and value (log_error_messages=Yes or No)
in section [options].
(new in this release)
The maximum number of digits the counter can count and display can be very
high. By default the maximum number of hits can be (10^80)-1, which is
a very large number
(), that is if data is not edited by hand,
practically it is impossible to overflow the counter.
Wild card can be used in the IPs in ignore host block in the
config file.
There is no limit for number of IPs (as long as memory
is not exhausted).
Wild card can be used in the hosts/IPs in the auth block of the
config file.
There is no limit for number of hosts/IPs (as long as memory
is not exhausted).
The counter can count with image= parameter if df= parameter is
specified.
Count or ignore Consecutive reloading a page from the same host a configurable
option in the count.cfg file (used to be a compile-time option).
(Added on: Dec-13-1998).
"cache" and expires" parameters can be used to change the
caching behavior of certain browsers.
Date in clock is Year 2000 safe. Note, you will not see full year
in the counter until the year 2000 arrives unless you use the
parameter , or specify YYYY with the option
Uses image strip as well as individual digit images. Using an image
strip reduces disk i/o significantly, therefore, it's faster. A program
(mkstrip) is supplied to create an image strip from individual digit images.
Comma can be displayed after every 3rd digit from right.
Any one color of the image can be changed on the fly.
Uses netmasks to mask out a range of hosts in the network or the entire
Automatic datafile creation, strict mode, use of rgb color database
can be controlled from the cfg file at run time.
Any arbitrary GIF file can be displayed. Frame and other attributes of
the counter can be applied to the GIF file.
Count 2.0 is backward compatible with Count1.5's URL. One thing to
note, the keyword wxh has no meaning in Count 2.0. It was used in
Count 1.5 to specify digit dimensions. In Count 2.0 it is not required,
because the digit dimensions are determined automatically. Therefore, you
can use variable width digit images in this version.
Reasonable default for all QUERY_STRING parameters.
The same program can be used to display time or date.
The time and date of any timezone in the world can be displayed. The
time can be displayed in 12 or in 24 hour format.
Supports digit images with variable width.
Counter can be displayed without incrementing (for monitoring etc.)
A literal digit string can be displayed.
A random digit string can be displayed.
The color of the digits can be negated.
The counter can be rotated (only integral of 90 degrees, 90,180,270).
The default rotation is 270 degrees.
An ornamental 3D frame can be wrapped around the counter image
with user defined thickness and color at run time.
The frame and transparent color can be a name (e.g. red,green,pink
etc.). The color can be specified as a hex string, e.g. ffffff, ff0000 etc.
as well as RGB triplets as before.
Single program for any number of users for any number of web pages.
Any color of the counter image can be made transparent at
Style of digits can be specified at run time.
Authorized host names can be in the configuration file.
Authorized
hosts are those which can run the counter remotely. Do not confuse this with
visitors from certain hosts.
IP filtering through a configuration file at run time. Any number of
hosts can be ignored from counting. A netmask can be used to filter out a
specific range of hosts in a network or to filter out the entire network.
It's a good idea to ignore your own host or entire domain. Gen-conf program
will let you create the configuration file interactively.
Data file locking. Data file will not get clobbered by simultaneous
Count.cgi processes.
NOTE, locking may not work if the counter's datafile is
on a NFS partition.
Maximum number of digits can be set or counter can be
displayed with exact number of digits at run time.
User will be able to specify a start-up counter value
at run time. This will take effect if the data file does not exist.
You will be prompted by the configuration program if you want this feature
If you do not want to display the counter but like to keep the
hits on your page, sh=0 can be defined in the QUERY_STRING at run time.
It will write a 1x1 transparent GIF image to the browser but the counter in the
data file will be incremented properly.
Before going to the configuration procedure, please browse through
the default directory structure below. It will help you answer questions
about the configuration script. You can change the name of the directories
as you please, but keep the directory structure same, it will make your
life much easier. You do not have to create any of these directories, they
will be created for you by the Count-install program. The only things you
probably have to create are the individual datafiles (keep reading).

Log Directory is the directory which holds the counter Log file.
counter error messages and remote access
warning messages are written to this directory.
conf directory holds the configuration file for the counter.
This file is created by the program Gen-conf and can be hand crafted

data directory holds all the datafiles for the counter. The datafiles
stores the access counts of web pages. Each page must have a separate
datafile. The datafile is specified at run-time. You will know about it
digits directory holds sub-directories with various styles of GIF
digits. For example, A sub-directory holds the green led digits.
The sub-directories have GIF digit files named zero.gif, one.gif...nine.gif.
you will know about it later.
rgb.txt file is used to convert a color name (for example, cyan) to the
appropriate red, green and blue color component. This file came from
X consortium and is supplied with the distribution. You will know about the
file later.
The digits used in this program can be individual GIF files or all the
digits can be in a single image strip. This gives you the
flexibility of using digits of your choice. If you have individual
digit images, they are named as
zero.gif, one.gif,.... nine.gif, colon.gif, am.gif, pm.gif, comma.gif, dash.gif,
d.gif, h.gif, m.gif and s.gif.If you have an image strip, the strip is
named as strip.gif. At run-time, the directory of the
images is simply used to specify a different style.
Therefore, a single program can display digits of various styles.
Here are the supplied digit styles. I will not supply individual digit images
anymore. All the styles of digits are supplied as a single image strip.

them to Digit Mania instead of me.
Some other sites:
This program will work with any digits from the Digit Mania page.
To use those digits, create subdirectories say, F, G, H, foo etc. inside the
digits directory and rename the images to zero.gif, one.gif..nine.gif.
I suggest you create an image strip out of these digits and use it instead of
using individual images.
Before using these digits, please read the sections
You can compile with default settings or you can specify your own settings.
To compile with the default settings (very simple), please go to the sub-section
if you want the ability to change the default settings,
at the shell prompt (shell prompt is where you type ls, read your mails
etc.), type the following commands in the described order and press Return
make config.h
The script Count-config will be executed.
The script will ask questions with brief description.
The script will generate the header file src/config.h.
Look at the directory structure image to better understand the questions.
The configured script will be executed first to
create the Makefiles
(libs/mcfg/Makefile,
libs/combine/Makefile,
libs/bigplus/Makefile,
utils/mkstrip/Makefile,
utils/extdgts/Makefile and
src/Makefile) for your system. Then the programs Count.cgi,
mkstrip and extdgts will be compiled and copied to the bin directory.
The script Gen-conf will be executed to create the counter run-time
configuration file .
This script will ask you questions about your system. Answer them.
This process will create the configuration file for the counter.
Note: if your hostname has more than 3 parts, like foo., than the
script will not take it. Just enter a 3 part name and then go back and
edit the file by hand with your favorite text editor.
make install
This is the final step. The script Count-install will install the
necessary things for the counter in your system. You will need root
access if you are installing it an area where root access is needed. This
program will ask you some questions.
If you finished all the above steps successfully, you are ready to
Look at the
section for the
default directory structure of the counter. Please follow the steps below
if this directory structure is OK with you:
First edit Config.tmpl, modify CGIBIN_DIR to specify the correct path of
the cgi-bin directory. Do not change anything else in this file. Then, at
the shell prompt, type:

will only need to compile if you want to change some default
characteristics of the counter.
I compiled the program on NT 4.0
(Intel) with MS Visual C++ 5.0. The makefiles supplied are also for MS Visual
C++ 5.0. If you use some other kind of compiler, you are on your
Assuming you've already downloaded and extracted the sources from the archive.
Open a command shell window and perform the following steps:
1. cd wwwcount2.5
2. Edit the file src/configNT.h and see if anything needs to be changed
3. nmake -f makefile.wnt
The above procedure will create the executable src/Count.exe. Copy the
file Count.exe to your cgi-bin or scripts directory
or wherever you keep the CGI programs. copy or
move the directory data as wcountto the same directory where you
copied the program Count.exe (if you edited the file
configNT.h and changed the location, copy it there). Read the section
The utility programs utils/mkstrip/mkstrip.exe and
utils/extdgts/extdgts.exe will also be compiled.
Please read the section
to know how the programs mkstrip.exe and extdgts.exe work.
A shell script is provided to test out the various features of counter.
To test the program, at the shell prompt, type:
./testcount-sh
The program will create a file called Count2_5-ex.html. Load this file
to your web browser to see the result of the tests.
You can test it out in NT as well, provided you installed the tools from
by . These tools provide
a fairly complete Unix-like environment in NT and they're free.
If your web server is running on On Unix, you can refer to the program
from web page like this:
If the web server is running on Unix:
&img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=sample.dat" align="absmiddle"&
If the web server is running on NT:
&img src="/cgi-bin/Count.exe?df=sample.dat" align="absmiddle"&
Note: in Unix, the .exe extension is not used to determine a executable.
You can call your program anything you like. So, if your server is not on Unix,
the name of the counter program will be Count.exe instead of Count.cgi.
The string after the ? mark is called the QUERY_STRING. Make sure there are
no newlines in the &img src= line and no space in the QUERY_STRING.
In df=sample.dat, df means datafile and sample.dat
is the counter datafile. The counter stores the hits in this file. This
datafile is supplied.
If you configured the counter to allow automatic datafile creation (look at
count.cfg file), you can specify a datafile with df like
df=count.dat. The file count.dat will be created for you if the
permission to the data directory is correct.
If you configured not to allow automatic datafile creation (good thing),
you have to create this file in the data directory.
Change directory (cd) to the data directory and type:
echo "1" & count.dat
In NT, go to Command Prompt from Start-&Programs and do the same.
The counter program has lots of options, you can make it work and look the
way you desire. In the query string, you can use the options described
in the table below. The options can be separated by a | or a &. You can
use either one or combination of both but I prefer to use & as some browser
may not like |.
Here is an example:
&img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?ft=4&frgb=gold&df=sample.dat" align=absmiddle&
The options can be in any order and not case sensitive.
Anyway, look at this
you will get the picture.

Description
These parameters can be used to change the image caching
behavior of certain web browsers.
The boolean value of cache tells the browser whether to
cache the image or not.
The integer value of expires specifies the cache
expiration duration time in seconds.
If you specify cache=F, the browser
will be hinted to cache the image for the amount of seconds
specified with expires parameter. if cache=F and expires=0, then
the browser should not cache the image, that is whenever you
come back to the page, the counter or clock will be refreshed.
Use this feature with discretion as it may increase load on your
system. The expires parameter is meaningless without
cache=F, that means,
if cache=T is specified, expires
parameter is ignored and the counter will not generate any
HTTP Expires header. This is the default behavior.
The valid values for the boolean parameter cache is Y,N,F,T 1 or 0.
The valid integer range of the expires parameter is between 0
Note, these parameters will work with browsers that support the HTTP
Expires header as specified in HTTP specification.
By default, most web browsers cache the image received from the
counter. That means, if someone visits your page and comes back
after a while, the counter or clock does not get refreshed.
Count page reload if the site admin configured the counter to
support it.
(Added on: Dec-05-1998)
If the site admin configured the counter to count reload, users
can choose to count reload (default) or ignore reload. The site
admin allows count reloading by yes, 1 or true in the [options]
section of the
with the keyword
count_reload. Note, if the admin
decided to ignore reload count (count_reload=No),
user preference is ignored. The valid values for the Boolean parameter
reload are Y, N, T, F, 1 or 0.
Count reload if site admin configured to so.
(Added on: Dec-13-1998)
Show the countdown time to this target date.
The parameter cdt specifies the countdown target date. The valid
values for this parameter is 6 integers separated by semicolon.
The first integer specifies the year, for example: 2000.
The month starts at 1 (January). The first day is 1.
Note: in Unix systems, the year can not be less than 1970

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
The range of hr is 0 to 23. The range of min is 0 to 59 and
the range of sec is 0 to 59.
down to Year 2000, the parameter will be:
cdt=;0;0;0. If you do not specify any Timezone
with the parameter , the
countdown will be calculated from the web server time. For example
if you like to show the countdown from GMT, specify timezone as:
=GMT+0000.
(Added on: Jul-17-1999)
Show the countdown time from this date.
The parameter cdf specifies the countdown from date. The
default is to calculate from the current local time or local time
of a specific timezone if the parameter timezone is specified.
values for this parameter is 6 integers separated by semicolon.
The first integer specifies the year, for example: 1999.
The month starts at 1 (January). The first day is 1.
Note: in Unix systems, the year can not be less than 1970
as Unix epoch starts starts at 00:00:00 on January 1, 1970,
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
The range of hr is 0 to 23. The range of min is 0 to 59 and
the range of sec is 0 to 59.
The local web server time.
Show the day, hr, min, sec in countdown or not.
This parameter affects how the countdown is displayed.
The valid values for the Boolean parameter
sdhms are Y, N, T, F, 1 or 0. By defualt, the value for this
parameter is True, that means the countdown is shows as Day, Hour,
Min and Sec. If you just want to show the countdown days, specify
F as the value.
Show from date (sfd) below the countdown.
The parameter sfd shows the from date below the countdown.
The from date is the time when the program is executed.
The time in date is always in 24 hr format. If you use the
parameter , the timezone offset will
be shown at the end of time.
It may be necessary to see this date to make sure that
the Counter program actually ran and the browser is not
loading the image from cache. Use
to make sure that browser does not cache the image.
The valid values for the Boolean parameter
sfd are Y, N, T, F, 1 or 0.
Specifies what to display.
The valid values for X is:
counter, clock,
countdown, image or version.
If the value is countdown and if the countdown
time is not specified with parameter
, the countdown to
year 2000 is assumed. See also: .
Note: If you specify display=image and if you specify a
datafile with
parameter and if
is true, then
counter will be incremented in the datafile. This will help
some people who do not like to show the counter, instead they
can show an image. You can use =F from
another page to monitor the counter.
display=counter
Display time/date of the specified timezone.
The parameter timezone= is only significant with
=countdown
Use this parameter
if you want to display time or date of another timezone or calculate
countdown in reference to a timezone to a target date.
The timezone must be specified with a negative or positive
four digit offset from GMT, for example: timezone=GMT-0500 or
timezone=GMT+0000 or timezone=GMT+0530.
The routine to display time of various timezones are written in a
generic way. Therefore, the unix machines will not be aware of
daylight saving time because of the way the routine is written. For
example, if daylight saving time is on, to display time of NY, the
timezone will be timezone=GMT-0500 instead of
timezone=GMT-0400.
If the clock displays your local time wrong, specify
your timezone with that parameter in order to display the correct time.
Time format in 12 or 24 hour.
This parameter can be used to display time in 12 or 24 hour
format. The valid values for the parameter X is 12 or 24.
tformat=12
Specifies date format.
This parameter is only significant with display=date.
The valid value for the string parameter X is any
combination of MMDDYY (Month-Day-Year). For example,
dformat=ddmmyy, dformat=YYMMDD. To show the full year in the
display instead of two digit year specify YYYY instead of YY, for
example dformat=MMDDYYYY. To show full year you can also use the
parameter .
dformat=MMDDYY
Show the full year (fy) in the date instead of only two digit year.
This boolean parameter indicates whether to show all the year
digits instead of default two digits in the date. By the way
the program will display all the year digits by default from
Year 2000.
The valid values for the boolean parameter
fy are Y,N,T,F,1 or 0. See also:
Use of image strip On/Off
The boolean value of istrip specifies whether to use
image strip or not. If you specify istrip=F, the program
will look for the individual digit image files in the
digits/style directory.
The valid values for the Boolean parameter
istrip are Y, N, T, F, 1 or 0.
Frame Thickness
You can wrap the counter in an ornamental frame of X pixels
Use 0 for no frame. Values over 5 make a nice 3-D effect.
frgb=RRGGBB (in hex)
Frame Color
Specifies the color of the frame in RGB (red/green/blue)
format. Each color component, R, G, and B is specified as a
value between 0 and 255. If you use ft= without a frgb=
param, the default color is used.
If you specify a frgb= without a ft=, then the frame
thickness defaults to 5. All the examples show ft=5.
The color can be specified as hex string or a name.
Do not use a # before the hex string as Netscape.
For example, if you want to specify white in hex, use
frgb=ffffff. You also can use a color name (e.g. frgb=blue)
if the counter is configured to do so (look at the cfg file).
Look at the
some hints about color name database.
frgb=100;139;216
frgb=648bd8
Transparency On/Off
You can specify if your counter image will have a transparent
color with the Boolean B. So tr=Y means there will be a
transparent color. It does not matter if the GIF files used
for the digits are "transparent"; you must specify explicitly
which color to make transparent. If you specify a trgb=, then
you do not need to specify tr=Y. If you specify tr=Y and
do not specify trgb=, then the default color black will
be transparent.
The valid values for B are Y, N, T, F, 1, or
No Transparency
trgb=RRGGBB (in hex)
Transparency Color
Specifies the color to be made transparent in RGB (red/green/blue)
format. Each color component, R, G, and B is specified as a
value between 0 and 255. If you use tr= without a trgb=
param, the default color is used.
The color can be specified as hex string or a name.
Do not use a # before the hex string as Netscape.
For example, if you want to specify white in hex, use
trgb=ffffff. You also can use a color name (e.g. trgb=blue)
if the counter is configured to do so (look at the cfg file).
Look at the
some hints about color name database.
If you use trgb= then tr=Y is not needed.
trgb=0;0;0
trgb=000000
Max Digits
Defines maximum number of digits to display. Any value between
5 and 80 inclusive are permitted. Padding with leading zeros is
automa longer counts are truncated to the
Without padding
Left padding with 0s
Turn padding on/off in conjunction with md= setting. It also
affects padding hour in clock.
values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0.
Without specification of a md=value
With specification of a md=value
Digit Directory
Denotes directory of a specific styles of digits. Four styles
of digits are supplied. They are kept at the directories A,B,C
and D respectively. Visit the
for other styles of digits.
My green LED digits
Display this GIF file
You can display any GIF image specified with this parameter.
The location of this file is determined by the dd=
parameter. Note that no path in the GIF file is allowed.
All attributes of the counter apply to the image.
This parameter is used for compositing counter image with
the GIF image. The default alignment is top-center and the default
offset is 2 pixels from the top of the GIF image. If you want
to composite clock, date or contdown, specify so with the
Display comma after every 3rd digit from right.
The boolean value of parameter comma specifies whether
to display comma after every 3rd digit from right. If you use
this parameter as true, the left padding with zeros will be
turned off.
srgb=RRGGBB (in hex)
prgb=R;G;B
prgb=RRGGBB (in hex)
Change a color of the image to a target color on the fly.
Any one color of the image can be changed to a different color
on the fly. srgb stands for source color, that is the
color to change. prgb stands for pen color, that is the
target color. The values for srgb and prgb can be
colon separated color components (e.g, srgb=255;0;0), a hex
value (e.g. srgb=ff0000) or a color name (e.g. srgb=red). The
color name can be used if you configured the counter to do
so (look at the cfg file).
srgb=00ff00 (0;255;0 green)
prgb=00ffff (0;255;255 cyan)
With chcolor=T
Change a color of the image.
This parameter is usually used to change the default green
color to cyan. That is if you specify chcolor=T, and
you want to change green to cyan, then you do not need to
specify srgb and prgb parameters.
1x1 GIF is displayed. The valid values for the Boolean parameter B
are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0
Start Count
This parameter is used to set the initial value of the counter
to some number X.
This is only valid if you decided to allow automatic datafile
It is a bad practice to allow automatic datafile creation,
however it makes site maintaining easier. The automatic datafile
creation option is specified in configuration file and can be
changed at run time.
Note that this parameter has no effect if the datafile already
exists. If you want to change the counter value in a existing
datafile, hand edit the file. The minimum value for st is 1.
Count starts at 1
Show digits
Used to turn display of digits on or off according to the
Boolean B.
When sh=T, counter will be displayed and incremented,
this is the default behavior.
If sh=F no digits will show, but the
instead of digits a transparent
1x1 GIF is displayed. The valid values for the Boolean parameter B
are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0
Datafile to store count
Specifies the name of the file for storing the count in. The
file must be allocated to you as was mentioned in the
"Authorizations" section above.
You can use df=random
to display a random number.
One special use of the parameter is df=RANDOM.
This returns a
random number using the fractional portion of the host's time
of day clock as a seed for the generator. Unlike all other
WWWcounter parameters, the file name provided is
case-sensitive, except for the value random. Or Random, or
rANDOM, etc.
if no datafile is specified
Increment Count
Makes it possible to display the current count without
incrementing the count. This can be used to examine the count
for reporting or other purposes without adding to the count.
Valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0.
Increment the counter
Display literal
Makes it possible to display a given, predetermined string.
The valid values for the string X are digits, a,p,: and -
Negate the color
Makes it possible to negate the color of the counter digits.
Note that the Frame is exempted from negating.
Valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0.
Do not negate
Rotate X degrees
Makes it possible to rotate the counter image X degrees. The
possible values of X are 90, 180, 270 and 360. Note 360 is
meaningless as the counter will come back to the original 0
Note: Microsoft MS Explorer
interprets &degrees as the degree character (it's gotta be
a bug in IE), so use angle to be safe.
degrees=270
With rotate=Y and without degrees=X
rotate 270 degrees clockwise
Rotate On/Off
The Boolean value B turns on or off rotating. If you use
setting, rotate is not needed.
Valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0.
Do not rotate
composite the counter image to a base image at the location
When a base image is specified with
parameter, the parameter xy can be used to composite the
counter image on the
base image at location x,y. x is positive towards right and y
is positive downward. The co-ordinate of the upper left corner
of the base image is 0,0). See also: .
composite the counter/clock/countdown image with a base image
and align the counter image.
This option can be used to composite the counter on a base
image (specified with
with known
width and height.
This way, you will be able specify the width and height of
the counter image in the &img src= tag while calling the
counter. The implication is, if the counter is the first thing
in a large table, the browser will not have to wait to
calculate the width and height of the counter image before
loading the rest. The valid value for the parameter align is
topcenter,
midcenter,
bottomleft,
bottomcenter and
bottomright. The parameter
can be used to specify the offset
in pixels from the edge of the base image.
parameter has higher precedence than align. Therefore, if both
xy and align is specified xy will take the precedence.
See also: .
align=bottomcenter
Offset of the counter image in pixels from the edge of the
base image while compositing the counter with an image.
The parameter offset is used with
to specify the offset of the
counter image in pixels from the edge of the base image while
compositing the counter/clock image with an base image.
If align=topleft, the the offset is counted from the top and
left edge of the base image. If align=topcenter, the offset is
counted from the top edge of the base image. If align=topright,
the offset is counted from the top and right edge of the
base image. If align=midleft, offset is counted from the
left edge of the base image. If align=midcenter, offset is
ignored. If align=midright, offset is counted from the right
edge of the base image. If align=bottomleft, offset is counted
from the left and bottom edge of the base image. If
align=bottomcenter, offset is counted from bottom edge of the
base image. If align=bottomright, offset is counted from the
right and bottom edge of the base image.
The valid value for the paramter N is a positive integer.

There are several sites including
which maintains a array of collection of GIF digits which can be used with
the counter. The counter program can use these digits in 2 ways.
Use a single image strip for digits. This is the default behavior,
that is the counter program looks for a image file called strip.gif
directory by default. Using an image
strip is much more efficient than using individual digits, because
size of an image strip is almost always less than the combined size of
individual images.
Disk i/o is significantly reduced, because only one file needs to
be opened instead of many.
use a individual digit image for each digit, for example, zero.gif,
one.gif...nine.gif. These digit images reside in the
directory. If you like to use the counter for
clock, 3 additional digit images are required, e.g., colon.gif,
am.gif and pm.gif. If you want to use comma in your counter digits,
another image is required, e.g., comma.gif. If you want to use the counter
to display date, one more image is required, e.g., dash.gif. If
you collect digits from external source, do not forget to rename the images
to zero.gif, one.gif, two.gif, ... nine.gif, colon.gif, am.gif,
pm.gif, comma.gif and dash.gif
The section
describes how to create an image strip from individual digit images.
If you like to use the individual digits instead, you must use
the option istrip=F when you call the counter from web page, because
by default istrip=T.
If you have individual digit images, you can create an image strip out of
them. Image strip reduces disk i/o significantly, because the counter will
need to read only one image instead of many and the size of the image
in most cases will be less than the combined size of the individual images.
A program called mkstrip is supplied to create the image strip from
individual digit images. Another program called extdgts is supplied
to extract individual GIF images from the strip.gif (made with mkstrip).
extdgts is there to help you out if you need to extract the digit images for
some reason.
To compile the programs, go to the utils directory and at the shell
prompt, type:
Before using them, copy mkstrip and extdgts somewhere in your path,
otherwise you'll get error "command not found."
Now, go to the directory where all the individual digit images are and type:
mkstrip zero.gif one.gif two.gif .... nine.gif colon.gif am.gif pm.gif & strip.gif
Note, the file names are not important but the order is very important. For
example, the file names may be 0x.gif, 1x.gif etc.
Create a directory say F inside the digits directory and copy
or move the file strip.gif to F. You can use this strip with
The above strip can be used for counter and clock but not date. It also can
NOT be used if you want to display comma. If you want to use date and comma,
you must have the image for comma and dash. For example, the strip of digit
style A is created with the command:
mkstrip zero.gif one.gif ... nine.gif colon.gif am.gif pm.gif comma.gif \
dash.gif & strip.gif
Please note the order of the images used in arguments carefully.
The program
mkstrip puts the necessary information in the GIF comment extension
about the strip.
The counter program parses the comment extension to
determine the width of the individual digits in the strip. Therefore,
the strip can have digit segments of variable width.
For example, the comment of the image strip of digit style A is:
15:0:15:30:45:60:75:90:105:120:135:150:165:180:195:210:225
The leftmost integer 15 indicates there are 15 individual digits in the
image and the next colon separated pairs are the location of
left and right side of the segment
of the individual images from the leftmost edge. If you look carefully you
will see that the individual segment of the strip is 15 pixel wide. The
height is determined by reading the image. If you use the program
mkstrip, you do not need to know anything about the comment, it will
be created correctly for you.
It is mentioned here because it is possible
you obtained a strip from somewhere and you want to add the comment to the
The count.cfg file contains the runtime configuration information for
the Count program. The file consists of sections and parameters. A section
begins with the name of the section in square brackets and continues until
the next section begins. The sections contain parameters of the form
keyword=value or just keyword one in each line.
The file is line-based, that is, each newline-terminated line represents
either a comment, a section name or a parameter. The section and the parameter
names are not case sensitive.

1. Summary of changes
`Host ignore' block contains one or more lines with IP addresses
of hosts that will be ignored for counter updates.
New feature in this release is possibility to mask off groups of hosts
(subnetworks) defined by corresponding network / netmask pairs.
This can be useful if we wish to exclude accesses from the hosts on
our campus or hosts of people developing the pages.
To accomplish this, each line in host ignore block can take two arguments.
If second argument is present, first is assumed to be network address and
second the netmask. If only one argument is present, it is taken as a
host address or a host address with wild card.
If this concept with "network address / netmask" sounds unfamiliar,
you should consult your friendly network administrator.
2. How to determine ignore hosts parameters
To configure `ignore hosts' block in configuration file, you should
know at least how the network / netmask concept works.
Here is a brief description.
2.1. IP Addresses and netmasks concept
IP address is a 32 bit value (four octets) that is for readability
purposes written as four decimal values separated by a dot
(so called dotted quad).
For example, network address - in dotted quad notation
161.53.4.28
is - in binary notation
Binary representation is what we will need to determine network
addresses and netmasks.
Each network IP address is contained of network and host part.
Generally speaking, networks are split into several classes.
Here are three primary forms [1]:
- class A network has first octet in range from 0 to 127.
First octet is network address while other three octets specify
the host part.
In binary notation it is something like (n - network, h - host)
0nnnnnnn hhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh
There are 27 such possible networks, each with
(224 - 2) hosts.
- class B network has first octet in range from 128 to 191.
First two octets are the network address, and third and fourth
are host address.
In binary notation it is something like (n - network, h - host)
10nnnnnn nnnnnnnn hhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh
There are 214 such possible networks, each with
(216 - 2) hosts.
- class C network has first octet in range from 192 to 223.
First three octets are the network address, and fourth is
host address.
In binary notation it is something like (n - network, h - host)
110nnnnn nnnnnnnn nnnnnnnn hhhhhhhh
There are 221 such possible networks, each with
(28 - 2) hosts.
Note: "-2" is because 0 is reserved for "this host", and 255 means
broadcast, or "all hosts on this network".
Nothing stops us to divide the network given to us by a service
provider into a several smaller networks. This is often done in
real life.
Network is being partitioned by setting the 32-bit subnet mask
in which 1's represent the network part, and 0's represent the host
part if IP address. As of now, we may correctly assume that a default
netmask for class B network is 00
(in binary, or 255.255.0.0 in dotted quad notation).
For example, if we are given one class C network (maximum of 254 hosts),
and we want to partition it into 8 networks of 32 hosts per each
subnetwork, we can do it as in the following example:
Let us assume that we are given class C network with address
220.105.101.0.
Initial netmask is set to 255.255.255.0.
To partition this network into 8 subnetworks, we need to take
3 bits from host part of the address (23 = 8).
Let's write it in binary:
Network address 220.105.101.0:
Netmask was 255.255.255.0:
As we want to have 8 subnetworks (this needs 3 bits from the host part),
netmask will be:
or 255.255.255.224 in dotted quad notation.
Host part of address has shrunk to 5 bits, and we will have new network
address based on 25 intervals. Therefore, our new subnetworks will be:
220.105.101.0
220.105.101.32
220.105.101.64
220.105.101.96
220.105.101.128
220.105.101.160
220.105.101.192
220.105.101.224
n.b. The same netmask (255.255.255.224) applies to each of the 8 networks.
From previous example can be seen that netmask cannot be set on arbitrary
boundary, but rather on addresses that are powers of 2.
2.2. Configuration guidelines
As a matter of fact, it doesn't matter whether your network is
class A, B or C. What matters is which subnetwork or part of the
network you want to mask off.
To determine whether a certain host is within a certain
network, the host's address AND netmask are compared to the
network address.
If they are identical, host is within the
given network.
Example 1:
Determine whether host 161.53.4.4 is located within the network
161.53.4.0 with netmask 255.255.255.0:
host address
161.53.4.4
255.255.255.0
161.53.4.0
network address 161.53.4.0
since 161.53.4.0 = 161.53.4.0, host is contained within the network.
Example 2:
Determine whether the host 161.53.91.7 is located within the network
161.53.91.0 with netmask set to 255.255.255.224
host address
161.53.91.7
255.255.255.224
161.53.91.0
network address 161.53.91.0
since 161.53.91.0 = 161.53.91.0, host is located within the network.
Example 3:
Determine whether the host 161.53.91.99 is located within the network
161.53.91.0 with netmask set to 255.255.255.224
host address
161.53.91.99
255.255.255.224
161.53.91.96
network address 161.53.91.0
since 161.53.91.96 != 161.53.91.0, host is NOT located within the network.
To set the netmask properly, and to check the configuration, you must
know what addresses are being covered with certain network address / netmask
combination.
Example 4:
Which host are located within the network 161.53.91.0 with netmask set
to 255.255.255.224?
network address 161.53.91.0
255.255.255.224
It is obvious that only last 5 bits are host address, since netmask
will mask off upper 3 bits in last octet. Possible host addresses are
from 0 (which cannot be used) up to
binary, or 31 in decimal.
Therefore, hosts within given network are 161.53.91.1 to 161.53.91.31.
(n.b. with above configuration, we have possible networks:
161.53.91.0
161.53.91.32
161.53.91.64
161.53.91.96,
161.53.91.128
161.53.91.160
161.53.91.192
161.53.91.224
Example 5:
How can I select hosts with addresses in range 161.53.5.16 to
161.53.5.31?
first host
161.53.5.16
161.53.5.31
(all selected hosts)
01 0001xxxx
It can be observed that host part is last four bits of the address,
which leads to the netmask of 255.255.255.240.
Network address is address of any of the hosts ANDed with netmask:
01 0001xxxx
255.255.255.240
161.53.5.16

Compositing the counter image with a base image is an interesting
feature of the counter.
It allows you to composite the counter, clock or
countdown image with a base image of your choice. You can position the counter
image anywhere on the base image using the parameter
or you can use
at top, middle and bottom of the base image. The valid keyword for
topcenter,
midcenter,
bottomleft,
bottomcenter and
bottomright.
The parameter
can be used to specify the
offset in pixels from the edge of the base image.
Here's example of Compositing the counter with a base image:
The HTML tag used to create the above image is as follows:
&img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=sample.dat&dd=A&image=yeehaw.gif&ft=0&offset=5&align=topcenter"&
Note: while compositing the keyword
for transparency makes the color of the counter
image transparent not that of the base image.
Also, when you're compositing,
do NOT specify display=image.
Count will try to return an image in any event. That is, even if it
fails for some reason, it will write the error messages in GIF format.
The text error messages also will be written to the counter log file defined
with LOG_FILE in the directory defined with LOG_DIR in the
config.h file. The program Count-config asked about these if you
If you see any of these images, please check the Counter log file
you defined with LOG_DIR and LOG_FILE. If the program could not
create the log file, it will write the error messages to stderr. In that case
if you configured your httpd server to write the log to a file, the error
messages will be written to this file.

Thanks to John Cristy for ImageMagick.
I took many routines from ImageMagick for the GIF image combining library.
I borrowed the font array and some code from
. Thanks to
Thanks to Philip A. Nelson (phil@cs.wwu.edu) for writing GNU bc. I took a
portion of the library to add two big numbers. Thanks to
for Inno Setup.
I used it to create the self extracting Counter binary for NT.
Special thanks to
Kevin, the counter won't be in the current stage. Kevin did the major
code overhauling in Count version 2.0.
Thanks to all of you who showed interest in the counter program. I had fun
writing it.
If you are using this program, I'd like to hear from you.
If you are having any problem with the program,
please let me know as well.
Feel free to send any suggestion. If you think
that the program is cool, please consider sending me a picture postcard
of the area where you live. Thanks to all of you who sent me the nice
postcards.
I really appreciate it.

I volunteer my time to develop and maintain this program. Here is a list of
tasks you can do to contribute to this effort:
If you improve the code some way, send me the
context sensitive diffs or whatever convenient for you.
If you port it to a new platform, encapsulate the platform specific
code with ifdef.
Please try to stick to my coding style if possible.
If you've a wish list for the future releases,
and I'll try my
best to implement it.
If you have some cool ideas, let me know as well.
Make this documentation better. Check for typos,
grammatical mistakes and inconsistencies.
