What I meant was that for the hit counter to work I had to d/l a bunch of 
.tar.gz files such as various libs and some odd named files I didn't 
recognize. These files were not standard to the 9.0 Mandrake I am using on 
the web server.   I will check back on your counter in a day or so and give 
it a go. Thanks for your efforts. None programmers like me appreciate it. I 
am closing in on retirement and am thinking it is not to late to learn Python 
and then PERL and maybe one of the C's.  Long term contribution won't be 
there but who knows what I can give back in the short term. I should have a 
good 20 or 30 years left in this brain. Not to mention it will keep the gray 
matter churning with the learning.  Thanks again,
