This is the 2.6 beta3 binary release of the WWW homepage access counter for NT (Intel). Please look at the Count 2.6 beta3 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++ 6.0 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.

The binary distribution for NT is available as a self extracting executable (Count26.exe).

Download Count26.exe (847 KB)

Then run the file Count26.exe. Setup Wizard will you guide you through the installation.

Note: When you run editdb.exe to edit databases, you must run it from inside your cgi directory in order to have the common locking mechanism work among the counter and the editing programs.

After installation, the following directories and files will be created in the cgi-bin (or whatever directory you chose during installation) directory: (directory is not complete here, mm, sep-15-199)
