Thanks! For graphical counter I'd recommend: http://www.fccc.edu/users/muquit/Count.html For a perl script to use if you do get the exec: #!/usr/bin/perl open (COUNT, "countfile"); # open "countf" counter file $counter = <COUNT>; # input value from file close (COUNT); # close file (primarily to "re-set") open (COUNT, ">countfile"); # open "countf" for 'output' print COUNT +($counter+1); # increment value of counter by one & write close (COUNT); # close file print $counter; # put the value on the page Enjoy -George [log in to unmask]
