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 Questions: ---------- For questions about the program, mail to: ma_muquit@fccc.edu or visit his excellent homepage at: http://www.fccc.edu/~maquit For questions about the Amiga Port: albertv@spinnewiel.xs4all.nl 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).
