It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 21914
interpreted = N
texte = Hit counter is an absolute piece of cake. Just put this in your template:You are visitor number: [math]num=[include counter]+1[/math] [WriteFile secure=F&file=counter][math]num[/math][/WriteFile]Then create a file called counter consisting of nothing but the number 1 or whatever number you wish to start the count with. That's it! If you want to use graphics instead of just text, someone else on the list probably has some ideas for that.226eVenture Communications wrote: > > Hi Group: > > I am in the early stages of learning and implementing Web Catalog, and > and trying to figure out the best way to configure my server and pages. > Here is my problem: > > I run another cgi program on my server called NetCloak.
