I advise you not to use any of Matt Wright programs. According to my experience they are full of various bugs (at least, the program that I tried to use). I tried to use his Web counter (TextCounter C++ Version 1.3) and it was full of absolutely lame errors. His attemts to invent a new way of file locking was simply ridiculous. After several attempts to correct these errors I came to conclusion that its design is invalid beyond repair and simply rewrote it from the scratch. An example from http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/cgi-bin/c_download.cgi?s=textcounter&c=txt&f=tcounter.cpp: // Generate the lock filename. lock_file = new char[count_page_len + 4]; strcat(lock_file,data_dir); strcat(lock_file,count_page); strcat(lock_file,".lck"); No comments... My email to Matt Wright about these bugs was ignored.
