| Counter allows you to represent the number of visitors to your page (or more accurately, the number of people to load the counter image) through a graphical depiction. If you have Server Side Includes and would rather have a more accurate and txt-based counter, check out TextCounter. The Counter program at MSA requires a C program called fly, which is located at: http://martin.gleeson.com/fly/ in order to put multiple gif images together into one on the fly. There are several downloading options available below and more information on this script can be found in the Readme file. |

The Readme files at Matt's Script Archive contain detailed installation, configuration and usage instructions, which take you step by step from putting the scripts on your system to using them in your web pages. You should read these through and keep them by you when setting up or installing any MSA script. It is probably not a bad idea to print them out. Each compressed script package contains a plain text version of the Readme file, however the links below will take you to their HTML counterparts.
