WWWCOUNTER 2.3 (C) 1996 by Muhammad A. Muquit
Ported for the Amiga by Bert Vortman.
Introduction:
-------------
I have installed the wwwcounter2.3, made by Muhammed A.Muwuir,
at the Digital City of Delft (http://www.dsdelft.nl, a dutch site)
for quite some time now and it works perfectly. One of the nicest
things is the configurability of the wwwcounter. You can decide
how it looks, who can and who can not make use of the counter,
add as much custom made digits as you want, etc. In one word:
a perfect count program for a server!
It also tries to be smart in case someone presses reload.
The counter won't count in that case. Well, it has all kind
of nice options like displaying date and time, colour of the counter,
etc, etc. Too much to say in a few words. But it had one drawback:
it only runned on WindowsNT, OS2 and Unix computers. But since some
Amiga owners developed the Ixemul.library, it became possible
to port UNIX programs to the Amiga. Since I had the sources
at the DSD (Digitale Stad (city) Delft) somewhere around, I could
not resist the temptation to compile it on my Amiga.
It was easier than I thought with the help of GCC and Ixemul.library.
Only one small addition had to be made in the Count-install script,
but that was basically it. So, now can every Amiga-server on the
internet/intranet run the wwwcounter too.
Requirements:
-------------
- ixemul.library v46 from http://www.ninemoons.com if you run AWS
If you run Apache, do nothing, you must have the correct version of
ixemul already.
- fileutils-3.15.lha from http://www.ninemoons.com
- static IP address. It is impossible to use it with a dynamic connection.
- Apache httpd from www.dsdelft.nl/~apache
or
AWS httpd from www.omnipresence.com/AWS

Distribution:
-------------
This is the binary archive, the wwwcounter2.3 is pre-installed!
I have made a source distribution also, but that has one drawback, you must
compile it yourself with GCC. It's not too difficult to do, just
follow the instructions in the AMIGA INSTALL file. But if you don't have
GCC and/or don't want to install GCC, then you have to use this binary
distribution. You have the follow the instructions in the Amiga install
file precisely, especially the provided paths are important. Do not
change them! (They are compiled into the binary).
If the provided paths are not what you want, ask me for a custom made GCC
compilation. You can decide in which directory you want to have the counter.
A fee is asked in that case ($20 US dollars) to cover for my time. This
includes shipment (on disk or via e-mail) and additional help if you need
it. E-mail me for more information: counter@spinnewiel.xs4all.nl (though
I don't think that anyone will ever need it, read the docs carefully).
