thanks for replying
The server is my host's .. I don't have access to the logs and can't
configure it.. I know that it is running windows of some sort ...but have
yet to find any tutorials or specifications outlining which SSI I can use
and how .... it's a puzzle ... the book I am reading - CGI and Perl in Easy
steps provides an example of a hit counter but fails to mention how it
should be invoked ... ...
