              Access counter 2.0a installation instructions.

  Basicly it should be very easy. The code is written to compile on every 
platform, there are no platform dependant code except UNIX. Other machines
should have a problem with handling the user home directory, only if they
want to use the LOCAL_ONLY tag (see below).
  Anyway, due to repeating request I'm writing the instalation procedure as 
a step by step instructions.
  The only environment requirment is a C++ compiler. This is a mixed code
of C++ and C. As I plan to enhance the program later on, I wrote what I saw
fit in C++ code so changes in those parts would be easier ;-)
  Before executing "make" you should have a pick in the Makefile and set the
proper system preferences. Even though they are ducumented in the Makefile
I'll explain the in more detail.

CC                  - The name of the C++ compiler you use.
EXEC_G              - The absulute pathname to the program which will output a 
                      graphic count
EXEC_A              - The absulute pathname to the program which will output a 
                      ascii count
-DLOGFILE           - Pathname to indicate a diffrent logfile then the default
-DLOCKFILE          - Pathname to indicate a diffrent lockfile then the default
-DTMPFILE           - Pathname to indicate the temporary file name diffrent
                      lockfile then the default
-DENV_REFERER_NAME  - Environment variable that specifies the name of the
                      document which called the program
-DMAXCOUNT          - The number of times it will retry to lock access before
                      failing
-DDELAY             - The delay in seconds between attempts
-DLOCAL_ONLY        - Will remove the heading of the url in the logfile and 
                      check to see that the file is local.
-DHTTPD_CONF        - ***MUST*** be defined with LOCAL_ONLY and contain the
                      path to the httpd configuration file (in order to read 
                      path aliases)
-DIGNOREHOST        - List of hosts to ignore when counting
-DCMDLN             - Enable command line options for maintenance.
-DPRG_FILTER        - Enable the use of the counter like a filter to count 
                      files downloading.

Step 1:
-------
  Get the program. The only available place now is from my home page as I
don't have ftp site (yet?).

Step 2:
-------
  put the file in it's own directory:
	mkdir <somewhere>/counter
	mv counter-2.0a.tar.gz <somehere>/counter.

Step 3:
-------
  Using GNU's unzip utility, unzip the file you got:
	"gzip -d counter-2.0a.tar.gz"

Step 4:
-------
  Use "tar" to extract the file from the archive:
	"tar xf counter-2.0a.tar"

Step 5:
-------
  Reread  the upper part of this file and decide which options you want to set
and which not ;-)
  Change the Makefile acourdingly.

Step 6:
-------
  Type "make" and sit back. It shouldn't take more then a minute or two ;-)


The "make" process install the files to the location specified by you. So
all you need to do after the make is start using the counter (see the file
USAGE for further details).
