Clock/Count can be used to display either a counter, the time, or the date. Used as a counter, the Count CGI script increments the number in a datafile and returns a colorful image of that number each time the script is accessed, thereby keeping track of the number of times the page containing it has been accessed.

To use Count in your page, insert an image tag like this:

<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=username.dat">

Just substitute your own username to make sure you get your own counter. If you put in a new counter and it starts higher that 1, you must use a different .dat filename.

You can add many special effects. The most common is to change the style of the digits. Just add a digit directory parameter, like this:

<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=username.dat|dd=BV">

Available digits range from AA to CM. Here are some examples of each style.

To display a clock, simply replace df=username with display=clock or display=date, like this:

<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=clock">
<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=date">

Note: Date and time may not work with most digit directories.
