Well, you could do

<img src="blah.cgi" width=1 height=1>

but that could result in either a black or white pixel somewhere, you
could hide it at the bottow of the page or wherever.

Or, you could just edit the cgi script (if you can get at it) or find
a different text only cgi counter script

See ya :)

for one thing. While English audiences could handle it, the name of
Wing Cdr Guy Gibson's real-life dog 'Nigger' was redubbed to 'Trigger'
for American audiences.
