Count Release 2.5 for NT (Intel)

Introduction

This is the 2.5 binary release of the WWW homepage access counter for NT (Intel). Please look at the Count 2.5 main page for detail documentation and the source distribution (if you need the source for some reason). This is a port of the Unix version of the counter to Microsoft NT. I compiled it with MS Visual C++ 5.0 on a NT 4.0 (Intel) workstation. It is a Windows NT console application. Your web server must support Standard CGI (not Windows CGI).

This version has all of the features of the Unix version.

Download and Install

The binary distribution for NT is available as a self extracting executable (Count25.exe).

Edit the file wcount\conf\count.cfg with wordpad and Save As Text Document. Note: keep the filename count.cfg, do not add an .txt extension to it. Never use notepad to edit this file. The file count.cfg is heavily commented. Please read the Configuration file section in the counter main page for details.
