To call the text counter from your webpage put the following code into your HTML document:
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-world/txtcounter.pl"-->
The HTML page the counter is on will need to end with .shtml instead of .html for the counter to work.
Our version of txtcounter is automatically setup for use with your server, and does not require any special modifications. Automatic datafile creation has also been turned on, therefore if you make any new page and call the txtcounter.pl program from it, a new datafile will be started for that page.
All datafiles are kept in your home directory (/ on the FTP server) in the txtcounter directory.
