Counter allows you to represent the number of visitors to your page (or more accurately, the number of people to load the counter image) through a graphical depiction. If you have Server Side Includes and would rather have a more accurate and txt-based counter, check out TextCounter. The Counter program at MSA requires a C program called 'Fly', which is located at: http://martin.gleeson.com/fly/ in order to put multiple .gif images together on the fly.
